struggled in the playoffs. this year the wheels were falling off. it is about time he is out because he has never shown changes in the playoffs. he has only one style of attack which other teams have recognized as his game plan. he makes no changes. hopefully dale hunter will bring his enforcing style of play and boldness into the team. maybe he will do that but seems to think this was a panic move and could back fire. we get rid of a great coach who knows how to win games and get us into the playoffs. you fire him. way to go caps. great move. what is next? ov? maybe you all should look at your goaltender and stay with your youngsters. i'm no hockey expert but those who know more than me say hockey is wing of the few sports where mid season coaching changes can work magic. perhaps a move had to be made. if the season continues to fall
