""Well, I'll tell you something I did learn in my previous organization," Carbery said, smiling. "You do not leave the day before, even if the players want to. When they say travel day of, they mean travel day of.""
""I think it's the same for everybody," Carbery said. "You're coming back, guys are flying in, getting back from certain spots, from back home. It's a congested 24 hours, but everybody's in the same boat. For us, it's a little bit more challenging with the day of travel, but it's an hour-long flight, and whether you woke up and drove to the rink or drove to the airport and sat on an airplane for an hour, it's not that drastic a difference.""
The Washington Capitals will play the New Jersey Devils at New Jersey's Prudential Center on Saturday, their first game after the NHL's three-day holiday break. CBA regulations forced the Capitals to fly into Newark on the day of the game rather than the night before. Head coach Spencer Carbery warned that day-of travel can complicate preparation and recovery and recounted a prior instance when leaving the night before resulted in a $100,000 fine for the Toronto Maple Leafs. The Leafs won that game in overtime, and the Capitals hope Carbery's experience helps them secure a much-needed road win. Carbery stressed the importance of regaining game mode amid travel congestion.
