Washington Capitals honor Brooks Laich with tribute video
Former Capital Brooks Laich received a warm welcome upon his return to the Verizon Center on Wednesday night, just days after the Washington Capitals traded him to the Toronto Maple Leafs in a salary cap move. It was sure to be an emotional game for Laich and his former teammates, and he was treated with a heartfelt video tribute.
Via the Washington Capitals:
This is something that the Washington Capitals typically do for their former player who spent years with the team. It was especially emotional this time around because of the short time span between the trade itself and his return.
