Barry Trotz only coached four years in Washington, and according to him, it wasn’t long enough to earn a tribute video. The Caps gave him a tribute video anyway, which chronicled those four measly years of his in Washington, ending with him drenched in alcohol and acting all happy.
The Islanders stood and applauded, as did the Caps – at least those of whom even remembered him did, then the game proceeded.
They also honored Mitch Korn, who was a fantastic goalie coach, and Lane Lambert, who was a fantastic assistant coach.
To Barry, Lane and Mitch – THANK YOU!
