Dmitry Orlov and Garnet Hathaway pen emotional goodbyes to Capitals: ‘I never thought this time would come’

The Washington Capitals made a huge decision on Thursday when they decided to part ways with two beloved players in Dmitry Orlov and Garnet Hathaway.

The trade of the two pending unrestricted free agents signified a change in direction for the team after they had lost five straight games in regulation and fallen out of the Eastern Conference playoff picture. It’s part of the business aspect of hockey but from a human perspective, it is still never easy seeing fan favorites leave and don another team’s jersey.

Both Orlov and Hathaway demonstrated that more personal side of the game as they penned emotional goodbyes to the Capitals organization.

Capitals credit Alex Ovechkin’s big hit on JG Pageau as turning point in comeback win over Islanders

Early in the second period, the Washington Capitals fell behind 3-0 to the New York Islanders and were facing something uncomfortable: a three-game losing streak to Metropolitan Division opponents during a close playoff race. The Caps looked listless and not in the fight.

Then Alex Ovechkin happened.

The Capitals captain nailed JG Pageau with a big hit just as a Capitals power play was expiring with 13:25 left in the period. Pageau stumbled to his feet and needed support to get off the ice. The play seemed to be a galvanizing moment for the Capitals.

The game was paused as referees reviewed the play to determine if Ovi was guilty of a major penalty. No penalty was called and the Caps would immediately find their game. The Caps scored four unanswered goals, which included an overtime Scoarlov, to get the extra point and extend its standings points lead over the Islanders to four.
