Lucky suit
Dale Hunter is coaching the Washington Capitals in the only suit he owns.
At least the jacket is a wear-anywhere blue, but the tie is lime green with blue and white diagonal stripes. He says he’ll wear the same suit he wore as coach of the London Knights of the Ontario Hockey League because he only has to wear it for 2 1/2 hours at a time. Photo: Rob Carr/Getty Images
