The Washington Capitols as part of the expansion of the National Hockey League was founded in 1972. They played their first game in October, 1974 against the New York Rangers. The article explains in detail how they did during that first game.
They won their first game playing at home against the Chicago Black Hawks. This gave kudos to them since the Black Hawks had won the Stanley Cup two years before and were expected to win.
Their first season was bad, but they are still playing. The website http://www.donbrashear.com/2008/12/20/washington-capitals.html gives you details about the players and the game. If you are a hockey fan, especially the Capitols, read the article.
