Washington takes on New York Rangers in opening round

To think Spencer Carbery was thinking of leaving coaching 14 years ago to go into the financial business. The 42-year-old from Victoria, in his first season as an NHL head coach, has continued his dizzying career rise behind the bench by guiding the ­Washington Capitals into the Stanley Cup playoffs when few thought that was possible for this Caps team.“I don’t think I ever actually conceptualized this moment.

Hardly surprisingly, Spencer Carbery knows his way around golf courses as well as rinks and was Lower Island age-group champion at 14 as a member of Uplands. “I’m just proud, really, really proud of the group. We found a way to get into the Stanley Cup playoffs. Our players are all in different stages of their careers and their lives. But you can tell how badly they wanted to find ways to win. Everyone’s going to say we’ve got no business being here. That’s the narrative. That’s fine. Now we want to make good on it and put our best foot ­forward.
