Kolzig’s farewell marks the end of a special era
In the aftermath of the Washington Capitals’ Game 7 overtime loss to the Philadelphia Flyers in the Stanley Cup playoffs, I ran into Olie Kolzig waiting for the elevator to leave Verizon Center.
He was standing there waiting with the man who had replaced him in goal — Cristobal Huet.
Kolzig shook my hand, and I said to him, “I really don’t know what to say.”
He said something about how they had gotten close and things just didn’t go their way, but I wasn’t talking about the game. I knew Olie Kolzig was leaving Verizon Center for the last time as a Washington Capitals player.
