I'm not a fan of his tenure in Washington. The Caps being my other team, I was extremely underwhelmed with Washington's performance during his time in DC.

That's fair. It definitely wasn't his best 3 years, but I think it's also partly because of where the caps are - just like the penguins they are on a downturn. I think he'll do better in New York. At the very least a step up from gallant.

I can only hope you're right.

Yeah wrong time for any coach on the caps. I also think management was overriding some of his decisions in order to get ovi goals and backy back on the ice. Didn't help much. The team I saw Nov to Dec, before Wilson and backstrom were back playing, dominated. They shifted a bunch of talent back to Hershey though.
