Well, well, well, the Jim Anderson Era has returned and in full force. What’s the Jim Anderson Era you ask? Jim Anderson was the first coach in the history of the Washington Capitals and was fired 54 games into their inaugural season. His record? It was 4-45-5. He never coached in the NHL again.

- At Washington—6-4 (loss)
