Last night the Washington Capitals finally came through against a hated division rival. A young former-first-round-pick finally came through, but it wasn't the one you'd have expected.
After dropping games to the Pittsburgh Penguins and New York Rangers, the Washington Capitals and their fans were anxious to finally get on the right side of the ledger against a hated rival. It's nice beating teams in other divisions and the New Jersey Devils, but it's nicer beating the teams you hate. Last night, the Capitals finally got to beat a team we hate.
