Washington Capitals Assistant Coach Jay Leach will not return next season, according to the Washington Post. Given the suspect play of the defense at times this season, particularly in the playoffs, Leach's non-return really is no surprise. The Caps defense has been criticized for non-aggressive play, allowing opposing players to park in front of the net, allowing too many shots ion goal, and overall inconsistency in performance. No word on who will replace Leach yet."It was a mutual decision," McPhee said. "He's a good man and a good coach and he helped us get to where we are."
Coach Bruce Boudreau's other two assistants, Dean Evason and Dave Prior, will return next season. Boudreau inherited Leach, Evason and Prior when he took over in Nov. 2007.
