Is a team that has been in its most enjoyable period in almost 40 years about to head backward? How low might the Caps sink in the Stanley Cup playoff seedings before he snaps out of it? As has been noted ad nauseam, since the Redskins won the Super Bowl in January 1992, no Washington professional team in a major sport has won a title.
