Welcome back. Junkies. Come to you live on 1067 the fan and the team 980 here in the DMV.

910, the fan 105.1 FM in Richmond.

You can watch us on the Monumental Sports Network.

We're presented by Crop McCaffer, the official heating and cooling company of the junkies.

Nobody's playing as well as the Washington Capitals joining us right now as their head coach.

Spencer Carberry, presented by the Centers for Advanced Orthopedics. More positions, more locations, more advanced care, sending around one thing. You visit CFAOrtho.com. Good morning, coach. Morning, guys. What's going on? What was the last time a guy won back-to-back Coach of the Year awards, Kay?

Are you starting that now?

That's a great question.

I don't know, man. It's an amazing question, D.B. I don't know. I think it's in play. Are you saying that? I predicted it last year. Are you saying Coach Carb should make extra room on his mantle for his second Jack Adams' trophy? Is that what you're saying?

He might want to the way the boys are playing.

Slow down.

Okay, we will slow down.

Well, you guys are doing something right now, Coach. I asked Cakes what it was, and he was throwing out a couple things. What are you guys doing so right now in the last couple weeks as opposed to when you were going through that little lull? I think there's a bunch of little stuff that's helping us.

And I think we've sort of got that swagger and confidence back as a group.

And when you get that, I feel like it can really snowball for your team.

You win a few tight games.

And then now when we're in these situations, whether it's, you know, when you don't have your best, when you come back from a road trip and you're a little bit exhausted, like you still feel like you can get two points and win a hockey game like the other night at home against Columbus or, you know, when you go into Anaheim and you play against

a real good team, like those situations, we just have a lot of confidence right now and

swagger that no matter what way it looks, we're going to find a way to win.

Yeah, Coach Carves, that West Coast trip went about as good as you can script it.

2-0 and 1 with points in all three games against three quality

playoff caliber teams like you mentioned.
