We are into Week 14 of the season, and with the year-end/New Year holidays receding in the rear view mirror, we are getting into the long slog leading up to the trading deadline and the last sprint to the end of the regular season.
But fear not, Caps fans, there is reason for anticipation in Week 14, because it’s “Former Caps Coaches Week” ! This week, all three games will see the Caps facing former coaches who had varying degrees of success with the Caps.
The Opponents
Boston Bruins (Monday/7:00pm — Capital One Arena)
The Caps open the week facing the Boston Bruins, led by Bruce Cassidy, who posted a 47-47-7 (nine ties) in 2002-03 and 2003-04 before he was relieved of his duties in favor of Glen Hanlon in December 2003 after losing a third consecutive game that dropped the Caps’ record to open the 2003-04 season to 8-18-1-1.
