ESPN’s Scott Burnside ranked all 30 NHL Head Coaches. Our own Glen Hanlon checks in at #20.
“Hanlon hasn’t had much to work with in Washington, but he’s instilled an impressive work ethic in his troops. Now, he’s got some more tools and it will be interesting to see how much more Hanlon can get out of his new-look Caps.”

Anyone else a bit more shocked that his power rankings he had the caps 20th? I thought that was pretty bad, conisering there are a few winless teams ranked ahead of the caps. Including the thrash, who the caps already beat.
My girlfriend wants a life-size cut out of Glen. I told her I don’t believe I’ve ever seen him photographed while not behind the bench or a podium.
Out of the Newest Sports Illustrated NHL Preview:
“Though his team is undermanned, the Capitals Glen Hanlon is the NHL’s MOST UNDERRATED COACH- especially in terms of gameplanning, as he has also shown as coach of Belarus’s national team.”—Pierre McGuire
Like NCAA football rankings, the preseason ranking inertia takes a while to overcome. A low preseason ranking means it’ll be a while before a team can move up significantly.
