PICTURE OF THE DAY 4

WORST TO FIRST...Somehow, the Washington Capitals went from last and out of the NHL playoff marathon to first (and in the playoffs) with a win on the final night of the regular season.

Here, the Capitals' Sergei Fedorov, left, of Russia celebrates his goal with Matt Cooke (24) during the second period.

The NHL playoff start the moment One Shining Moment ends and finish just 12 minutes before the MLB All-Star Game. Only the NBA playoffs and Castro's presidency of Cuba last longer.
