Was the wrong guy for the Caps at the time—vet Cup team needed a vet coach. Wonder where he goes next; hard to see him getting another HC job.
Does seem like a symbolic move — not his fault alone the Pens sucked this season. But guess some has to go.

They really blamed him for the Power Play problems. Knowing where we were last year and beginning of this year of the PP, this isnt surprising.
I’d be shocked if the dude gets another job in the NHL.
Still can’t believe we let Trotz go for this guy
Who cares?
Pens have bigger problems than just an assistant coach
Maybe the Rangers PP will stink against the Canes and they hire him in the offseason?

Revisionism is CRAZY here. No matter what some of yall think now, the TR hire at the time made sense. He was a hot candidate and if he didn’t get the job in DC, he for sure would have been a HC somewhere else in the league. Obviously didn’t work out, but you can’t fault the caps for this hire.
