I think getting rid of gretzky was the best thing that happened to the team. He may have been a good player but he's not a good coach.
And the Caps, too dependant on Ovechkin?
Nah, every time he was suspended they went on big winning streaks. They're just flat or something now.
I read an article about all the bonehead moves he made there as a coach. I was surprised he lasted as long as he did after I read all of that stuff.
