The time we have all been waiting for has arrived. Brooks Laich will make his much-anticipated return to D.C. as the Washington Capitals host the Toronto Maple Leafs on Wednesday night.
While that first part was half tongue in cheek, it will be a very emotional game for Laich and the Washington Capitals alike. It will be the 32-year-old’s second game with the Leafs after being traded on Sunday. He spent twelve years with the Capitals.
“I don’t know if I’m looking forward to it and I don’t know if I’m not. Still the emotions are pretty heavy,” Laich said on Tuesday.
