We all knew it was the end, but now it is official, 18 years net-minder for the capitals, Olaf Kolzig has confirmed he WILL NOT return to the Washington Capitals for the 2008/09.
“For me, it was disappointing the way it ended,” said Kolzig, who led the Capitals to their only Stanley Cup finals appearance in 1998. “It’s unfortunate, because they have a good team here now. It’s a fantastic team, fantastic group of guys. Not to be a part of that is going to be tough, especially after 17 years and three years of what we went through post-lockout.”
After a long pause, he added: “It just doesn’t feel right. But at the same time, as an athlete, you have to know when to move on.”
GOODBYE OLIE! AND ABOVE ALL — THANK YOU FOR 18 GREAT YEARS!
