the start of the season. they were out at the game of 7-0 but i did not think they were playing top notch hockey. then it started to fly. once it snowballed, the caps could not recover. they weren't executing and not communicating. because of that it cost the coach the job. >> it was a very, very tough day for all those associated with the caps, a day filled with mixed emotions obviously, sadness for bruce, happiness for dale. >> bruce beloved not only by the players but by capitals fans all over the region. he is part of the reason for the resurgence. he turned this organization around. one of the things that i think might have been the final straw was when he said after that buffalo game "i can't teach these guys toughness." when you heard those words come out of bruce boudreau's mouth, did you think, all right, this could be time? ia dan, i really did. i think when you look at those answer, he ran out of answers. he just could not comprehend why

this team kept losing, why they weren't, cuting, why they were underperforming and that was the icing on the cake i thought last game in buffalo. >> the guy we refer to as gabby, he has a wonderful personality, all of last week i got the sense what's that expression, gallow's humor? i got the sense he thought somebody was going to take the fall for what had been happening and ultimately he knew it was going to have to be him. >> it's going to be dale hunter. he played 19 years in the nhl, one of the best capitals ever. does his toughness as a player on the ice translate now as a coach? >> i think it does because there's instant respect in the locker room, dan. the players know who he is, the players know how he played. i think he's going to coach with the same type of energy. he's an energetic guy, i played with him for a year in watch, he's energized. this is his dream job. i think he's going to do everything he can as a coach to

win just like he did as a player. >> you have to trust the guy who sat next to him on the bench and played with him on the ice. knowing dale the way do i, no nonsense, blue collar, all about work ethic. i think the washington capitals will put a great foot forward tonight and we'll see how far they can propel into the season. >> what's the most important thing he has to do as the capitals head coach right now? in my opinion it would be getting number 8 to buy in. >> i think it that, dan. i think number 8, number 28 and the team has a whole. remember, this is a team sport. yeah, can you have a great alex ovechkin and win some games? yeah, but not in the long run. but i think it's the whole system that he's going to start to initiate tonight that will be the difference of the caps having success this season and the caps faltering. >> i can understand why you say the offensive side of the rink

but for me clean up the zone, the defensive concept and if you play well on the defensive end, good things will happen. >> tremendous insight as always. please, joe, i know you're a clothes horse. you're going to have to get dale hunter a clothing deal. he wears the same suit and tie every single game. i've been told the puck is going to drop at exactly 7:08. two of the best in the business entertaining as always. jim, wendy? >> going to be a fun night to watch. >> let's get a look at the forecast. we've had some big changes out there. what's it looking like? >> those changes have come on into the area, 66 earlier, down to 52 right now. we've seen a pretty good temperature brop out there, winds out of the south at about 9 miles per hour. the rain continues to move to the east of the region but most
