Dimitri Filipovic is joined by Spencer Carbery and Thomas Drance to talk about a variety of topics including learning from this year's Olympics, navigating the challenges the compressed schedule has created and the highs and lows that have come with it, the success the Capitals have had the past couple of years with pro scouting and the role a coach plays in putting those acquired players in a position to succeed, the balance of developing younger players at this level while you're trying to be a playoff team, and the things coaches can control during an NHL game.
