Here's your host, J.J. Regan.

Thank you, Joe.

Welcome in to another edition of the NBC Sports, Washington's Capitals Faceoff podcast. I'm your host, the Capitals Correspondent, J.J. Regan, with me today. He's the Deep Blue Sea to my Jaws. He's the Capitals Insider, Targ, Elbuchar, Tark. I don't get the Deep Blue Sea reference. I know who Jaws is.

Samuel L. Jackson, the one about the smart sharks. It's a terrible movie. I saw Sharknado, but I didn't see Deep Blue Sea. Well, Shark Nato was awesome, so I couldn't use that. You were in Shark Nato. No, Chase was in Shark Nato. Chase was in Shark Nato. Yes, they filmed part of Sharknato in our studio.

Anyway, special treat today.

I was like, oh, he's got something prepared.

He's ready for this.

I just don't.

I don't get it.

But I'm old. So can you explain it to me, JJ? So I always have an intro that insults Tarek in some way. That I know. Yes. So it's usually he's my sidekick or he is a worse version of me and And so I try to tie you into it. And this time your chief Brody from Jaws. It's an older reference. You should get this. Okay. No, I'm good. I think we're going to need a bigger boat. See, there you go. Thank you. Thank you. Well, guys, the big topic, of course, today, Todd Reardon was officially introduced on Tuesday as the head coach of

the Washington Capitals, the 18th coach in franchise history. Here's what some of what he and

Brian McClellan had to say today. Obviously we're here to officially name Todd Reardon as our new

head coach. I'm personally excited for Todd for the time he's put in developing his skills and

developing player skills throughout his career. So I'm excited for his opportunity and I'm excited

for our organization to play undertaught.

I can't tell you how many ex-players, current players, new players, how highly they regard him

and what he's done for their careers and how he's developed him throughout their career.

I sit in front of you today and truly tell you it's an honor

and a privilege to be the Washington Capitals head coach. I want to start by thanking Ted Leonesis,
