Yay hockey!
Very experienced as an assistant coach, had a long NHL career, and has a high level of familiarity with Oates. I can dig it--though I expect Joe B. won't be able to contain himself.
He's also a Caps retread (did 5 years as assistant under Ron Wilson) and Cup winner (as a player). Apparently all of his prior assistant coaching experience has been for Ron Wilson - so fwiw, Wilson obviously likes the guy.
Anybody know anything about his style/personality?
Also, color me surprised that Caps were able to find a guy with club ties who is also a Cup winner (albeit not with WSH).
