Really like what the Washington Capitals are up to. Tidy piece of business shelling out some high end cheddar acquiring + signing Alex Tuch Your Chin and yesterday adding a high flying winger to the mix. I believe Spencer Car Battery will be able to unleash Kyrou and give him the outlook to be a 40 goal scorer. Coaching is managing personalities and trying to get players to be the best version of themselves for the team. Spencer seems to have that Jon Cooper like ability to manage / understand what makes guys tick. Never understood the coaching mantra of me vs you as a player. Fella we’re on the same fkn team!! When I spoke to The Car Battery he is the type of dude I wish I could’ve played for. He will coach team Canada someday..
Guy gets it.
