The Caps organization simply does not operate that way. Hanlon will get a fair shot at taking this team to the playoffs. Fifteen games (i.e., more or less the end of the road trip) is not a fair shot. Remember how long Cassidy got to stick around?

All talk and no action, lots of dives and embellishment, and a 'less hockey educated' crowd(albeit becoming much more every game).

If the Caps lose their next two, which could very easily happen, is Hanlon gone? I get the feeling Ted's patience is running short and McPhee might be feeling the pressure to salvage the season before it's too far gone.
