Washington Capitals Tickets

In the wake of all the excitement around the unexpected Stanley Cup Finals last season, it’s easy to forget that another team almost had a playoff breakout that foreshadows a coming season of greatness. That team? The Washington Capitals, who took on defending NHL champions the Bruins in the first series and won. This was even more impressive, as the Caps were forced to use third string goalie Braden Holtby, who lead his team to victory in a series that set an National Hockey League record for completing an entire seven-game series in which there was never more than a one goal differential. The Caps then faced the dreaded New York Rangers, winners of the Eastern Conference in the regular season, and Holtby again showed his mettle by taking the Washington Capitals roster to Game 7 against New York, which they lost in dramatic fashion by only one goal. But the Caps are looking for revenge this season, so get your Washington Capitals tickets now.

Holtby is set to be a star if he can keep up this kind of play, and the Washington Capitals schedule will likely see him take a bigger role with the team, who have since traded former starting goalie Tomas Vokoun to the Pittsburgh Penguins. That leaves a pair of young goalies, Holtby and Michal Neuvirth, to backstop a team that is chock full of offensive talent such as Nicklas Backstrom, Mike Green and Alexander Semin, not to mention the charismatic and dangerous Alexander Ovechkin. When Holtby took over, the Caps pulled off an impressive run and came within two points of winning their division. Now that stars like Backstrom have regained health, and under a new coach and goalie tandem, it’s likely that this season will see a Capitals team that’s invigorated and hungry for victory.

On top of these hopes the Caps have added former Dallas Stars titan Mike Ribeiro to their line-up in the offseason, making Washington Capitals tickets the thing to have if you want to see a truly dominant offense this year. The Verizon Center is looking for its first Stanley Cup, and there’s never been a better opportunity to get Caps hockey tickets for this season.
