While it seemed like the greatest March in Caps’ history, 2008’s ranks behind those of four other seasons in terms of victories and points. The Caps this month won 10 games and earned 20 points, but three times Caps’ teams won 11 games in March: 1983-84; 1985-86; and 1994-95. Interestingly, that ‘94-’95 club played only 48 games and earned 52 points in a lockout-shortened season but won 11 games and tied twice for 24 points — hands down the best March in club history.
Twice the Caps earned 23 points in March, in ‘83-’84 and ‘85-’86. The ‘83-’84 Caps earned 101 points on the season; the ‘85-’86 Caps earned a franchise-best 107 points. The 1999-2000 Caps won 10 times and tied once for 21 points in March. This March matches 1988-89’s 10-win, 20-pt. effort. That team, interestingly, finished with 92 points.
