Did you see the fan standing at the boards with the sign that read "Welcome Back Olie" ??

I wasn't sure if that was heart felt or...

I was also kinda miffed when Huet did not return. I thought he was a beast.

I did. I really think they truly where heart felt IMO. The guy was the heart and soul of the club for almost 20 seasons, he deserves. CLASS ACT!

Now don't get me wrong......glad we stashed 3 in on him in just the 1st but thats business. After we WON the game. Lotta love in DC for Olie.

Huet on the other hand. Yes did a great job. Probably was the KEY factor in us getting in the playoffs last season...but that was some real BS the whole contract ordeal. From what I read his wife made the final choice for them to get out of DC AND they way they dragged there feet about making the choice and holding the team up was hosed.

And furthermore, he never wanted to stay here to begin with per all accounts that I read on the Capital Insider.
