While waiting for a flight Thursday afternoon, Brooks Laich hosted a #askBrooks Q/A on Twitter. Answering a variety of questions, both related and unrelated to hockey, Laich got in a bit of hot water when asking a question about his days in Washington.
A fan on Twitter asked Laich which Washington teammate he misses the most.
@brookslaich What teammate from Washington do you miss the most? #askBrooks

Laich responded with a heartfelt, but somewhat cliche response.
Impossible to answer, loved my teammates. #askBrooks https://t.co/lLzwe1KkDb

Within twenty minutes, Michael Latta was on the scene.

Laich made amends however and gave Latts the best 26th birthday present he could ask for. Laich also made sure to include Tom Wilson in his response.
Since it's your birthday buddy, I'm gonna say you!! Happy birthday man, miss you bud! #🔥LI🏒 cc: @tom_wilso https://t.co/QJCoYNNuIU

Even though they don’t play on the same team anymore, it’s still fun to see how close these guys remain with one another.
