by from on (#15TG3)
The Washington Capitals welcomed Brooks Laich back to the Verizon Center with a video tribute during a TV timeout Wednesday, which drew a standing ovation from the fans.
A visibly emotional Laich demonstrated his appreciation to the Capitals faithful with a raising of the stick and a clap of the mitts.
Thank you to the @washcaps, my former teammates, staff, and the fans for the touching tribute tonight! Good luck and I will see you again!
