Washington has 7 first place and 2 second place overall finishes in the league during the last 10 years (it's a truly remarkable regular season record if you think about it). They've been by far the most dominant club in the league in the last decade or so.

...and during those 10 years, they never made it past the 2nd round of playoffs.

For one reason or another, as a team, they simply don't show up for the playoffs.
