Great month for the caps after a dismal Jan and Feb they posted a 5-2-3 march with one game remaining and tied for the 8th spot in the POW and still a out side shot to getting up to 6th or 7th. The capitals were hoping a few teams would have the same bad months they have had and now The caps were able to catch a few teams and make a run for the playoffs. the acquisition of Alexei Semenov,Kirk Maltby, Konstantin Koltsov was quite a coup for the caps 2 young future stars which the capitals were lacking and a gritty veteran forword in Maltby and also the addition of 2 experienced players for the playoffs new backup Arturs Irbe and veteran center Shayne Corson returns to finish his Carrier in the city he started in. The Capitals found it hard to move 2 veteran players that have been with the caps since GM Faber took over the team in season 1 Al Mac Innis, Alexander Mogul were among the first big trades GM Faber made but it was realized that sacrifices had to be made and the capitals had to look to the future.

Till next month sorry cant say good luck race is too close LOL
Rick Faber (GM Capitals)
