 PROFILE
The Washington Capitals are far from being the seat of power in the National Hockey League. Competing in the mediocre Southeast Division of the NHL's Eastern Conference, the team has performed well in recent seasons, including a trip to the Stanley Cup Finals in 1998. However, it continues to suffer losses due to low attendance. Ted Leonsis, a mover and shaker at America Online, led a partnership that bought the Capitals and a stake in the Washington Wizards in 1999. He is seeing initial success using the Internet to market his team. The Capitals play host at the MCI Center in the nation's capital. In 2001 the team acquired former NHL scoring champion Jaromir Jagr in a trade with the Pittsburgh Penguins.
