We'll see. I don't care nearly as much about his history with the Caps as I do about his knowledge of the game, and his ability to handle guys like Ovi. If he can help Ovi get back to his offensive threshold, while still improving his two way game, that would be great. But it's not just about Ovi. I think back to someone who mentioned we need a coach with the offensive mindset of Bruce B., combined with the defensive mindset of Dale Hunter. If Oates can toe the line between the two, I think we will be successfull.
