The Washington Capitals fired coach Bruce Cassidy yesterday three months into his second season in the NHL, citing the team's poor record and performance. The Capitals, with the second-worst record in the league (8-18-1-1) and slim hopes for the playoffs, named assistant coach Glen Hanlon as their new head coach.
