Spencer Carbery issues emotional statement to players after game 5 loss
The Washington Capitals season is over. It was a historic season for the Caps', but a last minute goal by the Hurricanes ended all hopes of a Stanley Cup run. Despite the loss, head coach Spencer Carbery took some time after the game to express his love for the team.
Last night's result was absolutely devastating.
Carolina Hurricanes forward Andrei Svechnikov sealed the deal with just two minutes left in the game, sending the Washington Capitals packing their bags.

Spencer Carbery delivers emotional message to his team
«You did feel this team was capable of doing something special and potentially going to the Cup Final and making some noise,» head coach Spencer Carbery said postgame. «We knew we had our work out for us. We knew it wasn't going to be smooth sailing through this, but we believed. And this group will never be together again. That's just a fact. That's the way that this whole thing works.»
«But when the wounds heal and we have some time to reflect, this 50th anniversary Caps team will go down in history. And I'll just speak for myself, this is one of the greatest seasons that I've ever been a part of as a coach or a player and I'll never forget this group. I told those guys I love them, every single one of them. What we went through as a group this year and what they accomplished and (Ovechkin's) record and everything that went into this season, I will never forget this group. Really, really memorable year.»
While the Capitals failed to move on to the Eastern Conference Final, as Carbery mentioned, it was a season to remember.
