I recommend unfollowing Michael Latta on Twitter immediately if you don’t want to cry yourself to sleep every night.
Tuesday, the former Capitals forward tweeted this:
— Michael Latta (@Latta17) September 13, 2016
Latta meant no harm with the simple hashtag, but Caps fans’ hearts broke all over again when reminded of his move to California to play for the Los Angeles Kings.
Some of the replies to the tweet included:
@Latta17 come back pls

@Latta17 😭😭 I hope that you'll be able to have more ice time though. You deserve to have more chances.

@Latta17 baby come back

@Latta17 I am still in denial about this but good luck in LA

This isn’t the first time Latta has tweeted about his new organization this summer.
Christmas came early, thanks to the @LAKings for the shipment. Can't wait to get into the new gear. @WarriorHockey pic.twitter.com/lKgri42Yue

What does he mean he can’t wait to get into his new gear?! Was our red not good enough for him? Michael, do you think black and white is more hip?
Big thanks to my new teammate @tannerjpearson for coming out and helping out with the camp today. #KWAlumni pic.twitter.com/6VSSpGcu06

He tweeted about someone other than Tom Wilson. They aren’t teammates anymore. Try to wrap your brain around that.

So let’s just reflect on the glory days (last season) instead, when Caps fans were sure Michael Latta would grace them with his presence at the Verizon Center and various other NHL arenas (even if 39 of those regular season games were spent in the press box). Look at how excited he was to get back to DC:
Going to miss these sunsets, back to DC tomorrow. What a summer it was- what a season it's going to be. #capscapscaps pic.twitter.com/2rbrIYAzgh

Feels great to be back in DC. Missed this place. #capscapscapscaps @tom_wilso @andreburakovsky hurry up
— Michael Latta (@Latta17) September 3, 2015
And in case you want some more salt in that wound, Latta’s Twitter icon is still him in his Capitals uniform sitting in the penalty box next to ex-roomie but always-and-forever-brobean Tom Wilson. His natural habitat.
We’re gonna miss you in Washington, Michael, but we wish you all the luck in the world in LA (just not against the Caps).
Loving this place. #LA pic.twitter.com/EaS0ptbs8L
