give credit to gabby for landing on his feet. didn't take him long to find a new gig. props to him. >> that is what happens when you are the fastest to 200 winds. other general managers around the leering. it shows he was a wanted commodity. doesn't mean it was a mistake for the capitals to let him go because i think even bruce has acknowledged over last two days or so that he had tried everything. it just wasn't working. >> he had been here for four years. four southeast division titles. no playoff success. great for coach boudreau that he lands on his feet. but the capitals will see what happens over the next few week. big test tonight against your pens. >> he is a right down the middle. >> i'm looking at it like dale hunter can make quite a statement if he pulls off his first win against the penguins.

>> and penguins who tormented him during his playoff series. he would love nothing more. >> what is not a mistake is that ovi is dating maria corolenko. >> what do you think about it. >> i discovered her about four years ago. hopefully doesn't take way from his play. he we know now why he only has eight goals. >> that may be the secret as to white performance as hand been down on the ice so far this season. let's talk about the redskins. a quick preview of the game on sunday with the jets coming in, the redskin coming off a win for the first time in september that we can talk about that. do they keep it going against the jets? >> this is a jets team at 6-5 that is desperate for a win to stay in the wild cart hunt in the afc. i think the jets will try to pound it at the redskins, run the ball as much as possible. this ill welcome back stern test for the skins' defense. >> it is funny because we complained that there was no

buzz during dallas week. wear actually coming offer a win and there is nothing. nobody is talking about the jets. even though wear coming off a win. half the town seems to be rooting for losing around here. i still want to wifnlt i think it is an important game but nobody in this community seem to be embracing the team. it seems like, steve, most have completely given up on the redskins. >> in terms of on the field, the last couple of week, you've seen rex grossman and the offense come to life. rick threw for over 300 yards. going to be a tough test against the jets team who did lose a couple of week ago against the denver broncos but they held them in check. really strong defense. and i think it will be a tall task for the reds skins to win. >> i think it will be tougher than people expect. jets have had a lot of trouble running the ball. as cakes mentioned, they have to win this game. they are in a three-with a -- w

very they are in a three-way tie. >> healthy wide receivers and a run back that we know is going to start the game. we'll see what happens on sunday. if you don't want to talk about the lady terps, i know mark turgeon is going to be on the show later on so maybe he can talk about it. >> they are way better than the mens terps. >> there you go. now you got something to talk about. how about the cars of tomorrow here today? >> some of these innovations would make the jetsons proud. we'll show you coming up. our half off deal. $15 for a dozen gar my cupcakes. that is a $30 value. log onto the web site and click on the my fox half off link. o  --$15 for a dozen gourmet cupcakes.
