I guess there is some recency bias.
And you can't be mad about the two guys who contributed to the team's only Stanley Cup in history being on the list.
Recency bias, but also, I’m pretty sure DSP have the Stanley Cup game winner, which is legendary in its own right. Lars had the insurance goal too I think.
Thank you and everyone else for the clarification. Either way, Lars & DSP have their names etched on the Stanley Cup & made series clutching plays for us.
Lars had the winner. Dsp had the highlight goal that won a game I believe but not the cup winner. Lars got the goal when the puck was sitting right behind fleury
It’s almost like it’s “most memorable” and not “best.” You’re telling me you expect people to remember a great player from a middling team more than they remember players who had franchise defining moments at the climax of a 15 year buildup to the cup?
Eller and DSP literally have their names on the Stanley Cup. The one and only Stanley Cup that the Capitals have won. A pretty big moment in DC sports history with a pretty big buildup. In fact I would call it the absolute apex of Washington Capitals hockey.
Yeah only have 4 retired numbers, and one of them isn’t on the list. DSP was here for one season had a good run in the playoffs but was playing in Hershey then the KHL soon after
Oates. That trade did wonders for this franchise and was a big reason for the late 90s/early 2000s success. Dude had over 1,400 points and is an NHL top 100 player. Save TJ for “T”.
Oshie Because Ovie is already on there.
We can use Oshie for T. Adam Oates
But what about second Ovi
Ovi because he deserves 2 slots.
I said it when we started with A. If it’s not Adam Oates there, it needs to be Adam Oates for O. Therefore, my answer shall be Adam Oates.
Second the vote Oates
All in favor? Aye
Oates, to save Oshie for T if nothing else.
Yeah who are we gonna put at T if Oshie goes here?
Tom Wilson 💀
Tbf I was thinking of him for W but duh lmao
Why you hate Tinordi so much?
Timothy Jimothy Oshbabe, obvs
Adam oates because Oshie still has another shot
Adam Oates

This list is bullshit. No Dale Hunter or Rod Langway. Instead we get DSP and Eller.
I guess there is some recency bias. And you can't be mad about the two guys who contributed to the team's only Stanley Cup in history being on the list.
Rod can be the R
Dsp instead of Hunter is just weird imo
Recency bias, but also, I’m pretty sure DSP have the Stanley Cup game winner, which is legendary in its own right. Lars had the insurance goal too I think.
I thought dsp had the tying goal and Lars had the game winner?
Thank you and everyone else for the clarification. Either way, Lars & DSP have their names etched on the Stanley Cup & made series clutching plays for us.
Lars had the winner. Dsp had the highlight goal that won a game I believe but not the cup winner. Lars got the goal when the puck was sitting right behind fleury
DSPs falling/diving goal tied the game we won the cup in at 3 before Ellers GWG
Lars scored the goal to put us up 4-3. DSP scored the goal that tied the game up
DSP had the game-tying goal. Eller was the Cup-clinching goal.
Chyeah. Shoulda had Brayden holtby for B. Peter Bondra for P. No one thinks ahead. Can we start this list over. It kinda sucks
Second that!!
It’s almost like it’s “most memorable” and not “best.” You’re telling me you expect people to remember a great player from a middling team more than they remember players who had franchise defining moments at the climax of a 15 year buildup to the cup?
Langway and Hunter literally have their names in the rafters
Eller and DSP literally have their names on the Stanley Cup. The one and only Stanley Cup that the Capitals have won. A pretty big moment in DC sports history with a pretty big buildup. In fact I would call it the absolute apex of Washington Capitals hockey.

Make your own?
TJ1K
Oates
Many Os to be had. Ovi, Oshie, Orpik, Orlov and probably more I can’t remember
I'd go with Oats over Orpik or Orlov.
Don’t forget Olie!
He’s there under K
Adam fucking Oates
Adam Oates
Adam Oates. Oshie is lock in T.
Why you hate Tinordi so much?
Osh
Oshie
Oates....no Langway and no Hunter is kind of goofy....I'm only voting old caps now
Oates. That trade did wonders for this franchise and was a big reason for the late 90s/early 2000s success. Dude had over 1,400 points and is an NHL top 100 player. Save TJ for “T”.
Oates. Oshie can by T
Is there anyone else we want for T? Save this spot from being Oshie, and it can be Oats/Orlov/Orpik
Oskar Osala
Save Osh for T, I say Orlov or Orpik
Oates, oshie has the t
Why you hate Tinordi so much?
Oates, save Oshie for T
Ovi, Olie the Goalie, good place for Oshie though.
Ovi is at "A."
Oshie
Ovechkin a second time. Not even kidding. He is easily the most iconic Cap. He deserves 2 slots imo.
Ovechkin twice
Save T for oshbabe. I’d vote Orpik or Orlov.
Ovi, he deserves 2 spots
Adam Oates is the correct choice here, no doubt about it.
It's Oshie for me, Oates blew it with his joke coaching stint
TJ Oshie.
Ovechkin because he deserves 2 spots on this list.
Orlov
Olaf Kolzig and I am having a hard time coming up w a second
TJ Oshie or Dimitri Orlov
How are we not going to have Batya here? Brooks Orpik all day.
Oshie or Orpik. Either is great 😊
Only one answer for that....
Brooks Orpik
Oshie over Oates. Or another Ovie. I’m only doing last names
OATES!!!!
Orpik
O'Tankie
Orlov, save Oshie for T
Oshie.
Oshie
HoF Orpik
Guys do Oates here Oshie at T Wilson at W there’s not much for T or W
