With the New York Rangers having recently named Peter Laviolette the new head coach, we're doing a special crossover edition with Dan Holmi from Locked On Washington Capitals! Dan talks about his initial reaction to the Capitals hiring Laviolette three years ago, shares his opinion on whether he deserved another season with the Caps after missing the playoffs, and discusses how Laviolette meshed with his veteran roster as well as some of the younger players. Dan also provides some intel on former Cap Garnet Hathaway, a popular unrestricted free agent among Ranger fans. Plus, will Alex Ovechkin catch Wayne Gretzky, and when will it happen? Episode 855. Intro song is "Leave the Lights On" by Passafire.
