I don't know whether to laugh or wind my watch.  They hired Dale Hunter, who would have received a lifetime ban years ago if the NHL was run like the NFL.  Expect the Capsto goon it up, get some points, and then burn out in March as usual.

Still, most satisfying fire since Ron Wilson, or Murray in Ottawa.

Eh, I think I'm going to miss him. I'm going to miss seeing that confused look on his fat face as he loses to a 7 or 8 seed in the first round. I'm going to miss him letting the inmates run the asylum.  I'm going to miss the Harbaugh-like gatorade baths for all those presidents trophies only to lose to said 7 or 8 seed.

Guess part of me thinks if they got a halfway decent coach in there they'd be a bigger threat.  Then the other part remembers that they are the softest bunch of softies in the league.
