As the speech started, New York Islanders coach Barry Trotz was praising the Washington Capitals resilience and fight last season to win the Stanley Cup. He talked about the four years of great memories that will last a lifetime and how he’s looking forward to the reunion and great stories.
You can tell how much respect the Capitals players have for their former coach, even though he left for the money after they won the cup. Who wouldn’t leave for a 20 million dollar deal as a head coach? Trotz thanked everyone that was part of the team from the training staff to the marketing staff.
