Capitals name a new head coach

Today is another chapter ending and beginning in the history of the Washington Capitals. 
Dale Hunter was named as the 15th head coach in the Capitals team history replacing Bruce Boudreau. 

I'm personally of two minds on this.  I've been a Boudreau supporter all along and I really like him.  However I do agree that he lost the 'locker room' and when that happens it's over.  Then it's just a matter of time.

I'm interested to see how a 'players' coach (Dale Hunter) does in the Caps locker room.  Also this is his first NHL coaching job.  He's been coaching the OHL London Knights for over 10 years.  He is going to either sink or swim in the NHL as a coach, I'm hoping this move works.

The Caps were doing so well to start the season off and they WERE the team to beat and they have recently become the easy win for teams (even the ones that we are supposed to win against). 

Once a Caps fan ALWAYS a Caps fan, I'm going no where.  But slowly they are making it difficult to be a fan again.
