@ U’ly:
There are times, in the sport we all love, that it’s appropriate to drop the gloves. U’ly, you’ve dropped the gloves at the perfect time. Well said.

Not to stoop to your levels but unable to resist the urge (at times like this it’s obvious I started life as a Flyers Fan) @ Brookland Caps Maniac and AAA – Stop being A–es, seriously, Olie Kolzig won a Vezina Trophy and led his team to his Stanley Cup Finals – the pinnacle of his sport. His career has been anything but mediocre and as for being an “overpaid athlete” how is he overpaid, I guess all entertainers are overpaid in your mind AAA as are probably just about everybody else who makes more than you. Finally in addition to being an excellent Goalie over his career, he is a great role model and a generous, valued member of the DC area. I’m sas to see him go, yes it is professional sports, etc. and I’m not second guessing the Coach or GM in these matters, but you irrational attacks on the person of Olie Kolzig are NOT AT ALL DESERVED and you are both acting like class-less dolts.

Thanks for posting the listing. I respected him as a human being, but I’m sick & tired of these overpaid athletes.

Olie is running himself out of town because either 1) he is indignant that after a decade of unpredictable performance (and numberless soft early goals) he is being forced to compete for his job against a bona fide professional goaltender or 2) he is dejected because he knows that he can’t compete against Huet. I believe both are true actually. He is dejected because his mediocre career is nearing its end. This sort of thing was only delayed by team loyalty. If he was being professional and cool about it I’d feel differently, but I don’t. I’m mad because I had to experience heartsickness watching his bad goals for all these years, and he’s acting like McPhee just sold him down the river for no reason. I just hope that he enjoys his last two pathetic seasons in the NHL trying to plug the Kings’ holes. At least he’ll have an excuse for all those softies in LA.

@ Bruce: Fair point — the listing is by no means definitive evidence of his departure, and given the current housing market it could very well stay listed for a long time. It does underscore the likelihood that Kolzig will be elsewhere next season, something that hasn’t been seriously considered in his career since Boston chose Jim Carey instead of Kolzig.
