 Toronto Adds Hunter, Zettler as Assistant Coaches
Toronto Adds Hunter, Zettler as Assistant Coaches
No, not Dale Hunter . . . Tim Hunter and Rob Zettler have been sucked into The Great Toronto Void, a.k.a. Leafs Nation, as assistant coaches. Zettler patrolled the Washington blue line from 1999-2002 (with a couple stints in Portland). Hunter was the Capitals’ assistant coach for 5 years, including the team’s run to the Stanley Cup in 1998.

 Hurricane Huet
Hurricane Huet
With the news that the Caps will be playing the Blackhawks in the season home opener, it figures that the next potential hurricane could be churning it up in the Atlantic soon. And the name of that storm? Just think of a recently departed goalie whose time in Washington was a brief tumultuous whirlwind, not unlike a hurricane. Oh, if only he went to Carolina, the irony would be complete.

 Ahead, a Promising Harvest on the Farm
Ahead, a Promising Harvest on the Farm
Development camps such as that recently completed by the Capitals have a way of imbuing DraftGeeks and even the more balanced of hockey fan with horizons of heightened optimism. Always it seems there are a handful of young standouts there, among them compelling stories of no-name collegians or free agents making next-season names for themselves.
