Watching the Caps is just painful. My rant last night: if the entire team is playing this poorly, this consistantly, it's the coaching.
I'm not generally very quick to jump on a "dump whoever" bandwagon, but I'm publicly on it now...time to get rid of Bruce Cassidy. He's over his head in the NHL, which I've figured since last season, but last night I noticed that he's not even talking to the players on the bench. During the time-out at the end of the third, for example...
One problem I've been mulling over for weeks...what NHL coaches are available? I had a brainstorm early this morning...coaching experience in the minors, NHL hall-of-famer, local hero, strong defensive sense. Draft Rod Langway!
Turns out he is already working, dammit. He's coaching the (6-0) Richmond RiverDogs in the UHL.
Richmond. Hey, that's only about two hours away. I wonder if they have season tickets available...
P.S. The Panthers fired Mike Keenan this morning. Personally I don't like the guy, but he can coach...
