Defending champs struggling under rookie coach? No pressure, Todd Reirden.

(https://www.washingtonpost.com/resizer/IvRp6Jt2jECzlYQfb6d-wStNhZ4=/480x0/arc-anglerfish-washpost-prod-washpost.s3.amazonaws.com/public/VHQFDYQTVQI6TK3ZGDGU66JG6I.jpg)
Capitals Coach Todd Reirden says, ‘I know I have the skill-set to get the players out of this.’ (Jonathan Newton/The Washington Post)


Before this season, Todd Reirden had never served as an NHL head coach. He was handed the Stanley Cup champions. Here, try these guys on for size!

Those champs have 30 games left in the regular season, and the questions are piling up. Most notably: Does this new guy know what button to push and which lever to pull?

“That’s something that I feel has been my strength as a coach,” Reirden said Monday, “my feel for what the room needs at the right time and what our team needs to correct areas that are concerning.”

Uh, yeah, totally possible that’s the case. But, um, your Washington Capitals have lost eight of their past nine games. And they’re falling backward in the Metropolitan Division at a time that could be construed as critical: in the midst of their longest homestand of the season, just before they embark on their longest road trip of the season.

Add these optics: The Caps have essentially the same roster that won the Cup, but the coach who left town now heads the New York Islanders, the very team the Caps are looking up at in the Metro. So there’s an easy, quick-glance equation here, and Reirden knows it: The rookie head coach can’t get the same response the old veteran did, and Washington made the wrong decision in not meeting Barry Trotz’s contract terms, allowing him to resign and take over a division rival, while replacing him with someone who had never done it before.

“Anyone can draw the conclusions they want and say those things,” Reirden said, leaning on a water cooler outside the Caps’ dressing room after Monday’s practice. “But I know at the end of the day the amount of time and effort and work that I’ve put into trying to problem-solve and come up with a clear plan of how to win games, and then how to manage our team that’s dealing with the expectations and everything that goes along with being a champion.”

His self-confidence is unmistakable and plainly buoys him in this stretch. He has clearly decided to press a different button now, because in Sunday’s 1-0 loss to Boston — a team Washington essentially had the deed to, having beaten the Bruins 14 straight times — he benched center Evgeny Kuznetsov for taking a silly penalty. Tactically, he knows the game. He believes he knows how to manage the group, too.

But before you have done it — not in the minors, not as an assistant, but as the head man at the helm of a champion — can you really know?

“I don’t know,” said Brian MacLellan, the team’s general manager, the guy who hired Reirden. “We’ll find out. That’s hard for me to say. It’s results. It’s a results business.”

That’s the honest truth here. Reirden’s self-belief matters — for him. But for the rest of the hockey world, there are legitimate reasons to ask, “Can he figure it out?” Trotz was on the brink a couple of times during his wildly successful tenure as Washington’s coach. What you knew about Trotz then: He had handled those situations in the past and survived. You can’t say the same with someone who has never been in this spot.

“I think it’s different in that Barry has ways that he handles things,” MacLellan said. “He has the experience of handling it. Todd, he’s not going through anything a normal assistant coach wouldn’t be going through. . . . You’re going to get tested. I think we knew he was going to get tested. It’s up to him to show it. How do you predict that this assistant coach is going to be good at this? You can’t — until you’re in the heat.”

So here he is, in the heat. Reirden’s belief: He can handle it, and he will handle it.

“I know I have the skill set to get the players out of this,” Reirden said.

Now, there are a million things going on with the Capitals. Kuznetsov, who is among the best 10 players on the planet on those occasions when he decides to be among the best 10 players on the planet, has been maddeningly inconsistent. The Capitals’ defensive pairing of Matt Niskanen and Dmitry Orlov, so solid in last year’s Cup run, isn’t playing to its capabilities. The Caps lead the NHL in minor penalties taken and are tied for second in power-play goals allowed. They endured a suspension to key forward Tom Wilson and an injury to veteran T.J. Oshie, which required other players to push past their accustomed level of performance. Even before the seven-game skid that preceded the all-star break began, they looked gassed.

They returned from their break with an encouraging performance against Calgary, their only win in three weeks. And then they committed a pair of silly first-period penalties against Boston, played poorly for two periods and lost. Again.

The players are the same, a veteran group that knows each other. This is on the coach, right?

“I think it’s kind of paramount for us to hold each other accountable, especially when you have a guy like Todd, who’s a real positive guy,” sage defenseman Brooks Orpik said. “If he came in here and just started ripping guys, guys would see right through it. That’s not him. So there’s times where maybe he’s not going to do it, but he expects our group to kind of hold each other accountable.”

There are so many interesting dynamics here. Reirden was Trotz’s assistant, so he understands the personalities he’s dealing with. Now, though, the position from which he deals with those players has changed, so the relationship must, too. For a franchise, this also isn’t a normal transition from one coach to his former assistant, because the change came not following a failure but after the ultimate success.

“I think the trick for him is to push where he hasn’t pushed before,” MacLellan said. “How do you define, ‘I’m not an assistant anymore; I’m the head guy,’ and figure that out? This has been going on forever — in every sport.”

True. Right now, it’s happening in Washington with its hockey team, the one that won it all last spring and now is in a tailspin. The Capitals need to remember they didn’t become champions because they flipped a switch and decided to. They need to remember they worked and worked and worked until they got it right, and it clicked.

Coach Reirden, you’ve got 30 games before the playoffs to get it right.

Enjoying your new seat?

“I wouldn’t trade places with anyone,” he said.

Todd Reirden believes — sorry, knows — he can work the Capitals out of this funk. Now, the tough part: proving that to everyone else.

This isn't the only administration to do this so everyone can't blame Trump, but it seems to me someone down there would be smart enough to not have the SOTU speech on the same night as a major sporting event that's 6 blocks away

Agreed, but if we can't look good against the Canucks right now we should just fold. At least we came out trying so far. We need 60 minutes of this.

I was thinking I would like to see Wilson drop the gloves with Beags and after a few seconds of dancing just hug it out!

On a more.... ummm ... hockey note.  Ziggy just isn't ready yet.  His mental discipline and consistancy just isn't there.  He had a few decent games, but can't seem to keep it up yet.   I think he needs a tad more seasoning.
I thought Oshie had one of his better games tonight.  I really, really like TJ, but he frustrates and annoys the hell out of me sometimes.  It almost seems like he loses confidence easily.
Congrats to Ovi!  He's now the most point scoring Russian ever, just overtaking Federov. 

Our D wasn't as bad as they have been for some time.  Which isn't saying a whole hell of a lot, let's face it.......  but still.

WE WON!
Even if it was against the Kanucks, who played yesterday and are on the road and we only just beat them and they no longer have the Sedin's.
It was great to see Beagle again and that was a lovely moment when Ovi went over and gave him a hug.
It was really good that we crashed and attacked the net and got rewarded for it.  Biscuit anyone?

Wow.  Thanks!  You don't agree with me very often, so I'm pretty chuffed now.    ...   Though it could be that I'm just over tired and had one too many half glasses of wine..... :wackysmile:

some postgame:


Jay Beagle: Holts, he stood on his head. We did push. We pushed hard in the second. Holts does what he does. He stands on his head. He robbed me there, he said sorry. He said if he knew it was me, he would have let it in. Talk is cheap, Holts

 :lmao:

CAPS WIN!!


Thought they played well.  Big lull in second period, but mostly a better game.


Ovi was on
Oshie was on
Kuzy was on
Vranna was on  :piranha:
Wilson....was wilson  :hearts:


Holtz was ON FUCKING FIRE  :goalie:


Caps win.


It's weird.  It's like when our best players are our best players...we Win  :huh:




Also - here's another weird observation.  Games where we consistently crash the net....we score more goals (last night, Calgary)
Someone should take note of this and tell the Caps coaching staff and players - it could make a difference  :P

how does that count? Is that not the very definition of goalie interference?


Agreed.  That was interference all the way.


I wish the NHL would actually do something to set defined parameters for the Refs to follow so we could have a little more consistency with the goalie interference.  Although, it has seemed better this year - or not better, but FEWER circumstances of these calls this year - seems that way anyway.


Same for the stupid slashing and hooking penalties.  These are out of control.

I agree  :uh-huh:


I was just saying...LAST game I think, that I prefer Ziggy over Djoos, but last night Ziggy looked exposed.  Although, I don't think Juice is the answer.  He has better sense and positioning, but he simply is not big enough - not physical enough to be a bonafide NHL D man.  Ziggy may NOT be ready, but I think he will get there with some good coaching and experience.  He certainly has the size and he seems quick enough - he just gets caught because his game isn't quite there yet.  Not sure what we can do.  Juice aint it, Bowey is in the doghouse, and we sure as hell can't afford the price tag of a real D man.


I think our D looked better last night - alot of that is team D, but Nisky and Orlov looked better for a change.  Orlov, for the most part has been trying to get his own Volcano this year.


Nice to see the team play with some effort and nice to see Holtz rewarded with a win.  He had some game savers last night - glad they weren't wasted.

I was hoping these young Dmen would be ready by the end of this season to stand on their own. I'm not really surprised they aren't. Dmen always seem to take another year or two to become NHL ready. So I'm hoping GMGM has the sense to offer Orpik another 1 at $1M and Orpik accepts. Because it's becoming apparent GMGM won't go out and get a quality Dman for a 3-4 year contract.

Schmityy, McNabb, England, Theodore, Bischoffe, Merrill, Miller. . . where the hell would GMGM fit Hooks?  But I jest.


D is just not a priority for GMBetaMale and Monumental .  Tryin to talk Hooks into staying will probably the most hell do, and probably give him another 5 for 5 contract
