Agreed, I thought they’d stick with him for years.
Guess he pissed Ovie or Carlson off 🤣🤣

Feel sorry for him in a way. It's a cruel business. A guy spends a lot of time and years doing the grunt work and finally gets his chance, only to get fired after a couple years. I wasn't a big fan of his, but the players have as much to do with it as he does. Too many of the Caps players are content and don't have the win at all costs desire.
I'm hoping they find a fresh, new, energetic young coach instead of an old re-tread which seems to be so popular in the NHL.

But hasn't the complaint over the years largely been that they have gone with inexperienced coaches who haven't had what it takes, rather than going with proven quality?
The article I saw about Reirden's firing stated that the team was going to look for an experienced coach this time. Babcock, LaViolette, Boudreau, Gallant were some names mentioned.

They have, and they need to cut that shit out especially during the end of the Ovechkin core years. No time to experiment. Spend the money to get a real coach. Get Ovi another Cup
