This is a perfect example of underachieving Stars costing a Coach. Reirden is an outstanding Coach. But makes an amazing scapegoat.

Inherited a Stanley Cup champion after being an assistant. 2 years. Zero playoff round wins. Sounds like Dave Lewis.

His ability to communicate. He has a talent for developing youth. He is well liked. He is subtle and has a calmness on the bench.

Just a couple off the top of my head.

Reirden sounds like a very good assistant coach. As was Dave Lewis.

I never trusted Lewis. He got that used car seller look down to a tee.

Lewy always looked like he was close to falling asleep. Whereas Barry Smith always looked like he was high on catnip. Maybe they balanced each other out while Bowman chewed ice, complained to the refs and tried to get the right match ups.

I believe he was an outstanding and well liked assistant when he coached in Pittsburgh. Enough that Orpik and Niskanen followed him to the Caps.

End of the day no coach is fixing the fact that the Caps have only one skater under the age of 25.

My bad. Lewy did win a playoff round in 2004. Lost to Calgary in round 2.

They probably had to fire Reirden but it's really not entirely his fault. Outside of a few players that roster absolutely stinks and Holtby's game really went off a cliff this year. That organization is prime for whole bunch of down years, especially if McMichael doesn't pan out to be a star.
