Who says the Capitals have never won anything?

Washington as a franchise has come up short in recent playoff ventures, but a couple Capitals already have decorated resumes, sans Stanley, of course.

Young defensemen John Carlson and Karl Alzner were both members of the Hershey Bears clubs that claimed back-to-back American League championships in 2009 and 2010. Alzner also has a pair of World Junior Championship gold medals from his triumphs with Team Canada, while Carlson famously scored the overtime winner 12 months ago when Team USA downed Canada at the 2010 WJC (Alzner had already moved on).
