Caps fire Bruce Cassidy.

I'd rather be a backup goaltender than a head coach. You can be a career backup. Coaches don't last very long. What could you do with a team like the Capitals? Not much.

Not much at all you could do, except for you have a pretty good goalie. Too bad they couldn't unload Jagr, I don't think he has been great for the team morale.

But Sammy, this guy will surely end up a well-paid scout or assistant for someone else next season, maybe assistant GM if inclined that way, and he's only 38 so plenty of time to learn and grow into a good head coach. Too bad the team, going nowhere anyway this season, couldn't be more patient and attempt to help him over the hump.

Well, no matter the cause ... pointing to someone being distracted by their possibly dying wife is pretty damned stupid.
