Washington Capitals: A Big Decision Looming for Brooks Orpik
It’s a summer of uncertainty not only for the Washington Capitals but for Brooks Orpik.
Washington Capitals 38-year old defenseman Brooks Orpik has had a storied career in the NHL. From beginning his career with the Pittsburgh Penguins to the dog days of playing hockey as a member of the Capitals, Orpik has had a proud legacy.
Not only has Orpik seen the best of both worlds in winning a Stanley Cup with both clubs but he’s left a lasting impression among teammates both young and old.
So that’s pretty much the decision, do you want to hang up your skates or do you want to return next season and continue to be that veteran presence in the Capitals locker room that everyone looks up to?
