Excellent connection.
As a detached TV observer of tonight’s game, I was happy to see Olie lit up early, and felt nothing but the elation which accompanies a Caps lead.
But someday, when I see Kolzig play in person again, and when he eventually announces his retirement, I will undoubtedly be moved much more than I’d like to allow or admit.

For those of us who were here for over 10 years of the one and only Olaf Kolzig, we will be cheering. The entire game. I know I will. There is plenty of time to beat Tampa Bay, but tonight is to welcome Olie back and watch some good hockey.

My apologies if this has been previously mentioned, but I heard rumor that there will be a video tribute to Kolzig during the first commercial break this evening.
The classy thing to do, of course, is to applaud Olie for all his former years as a Captial and everything he’s done on and off the ice while part of the organization. Once that is done, however, it’s time to get down to business and win the game–no time to dwell on the past. You’ll get the same treatment from us (the fans) as any other opposing netminder gets.

That was an awesome story. I hope we Caps fans, show that same kind of class for Olie tonight.
