AFTER 14 SEASONS, GOALTENDER OLAF KOLZIG RETIRES

"TORONTO - Veteran goaltender Olaf Kolzig is retiring after 14 seasons in the NHL.

The 39-year-old former Vezina Trophy winner -- known as "Olie The Goalie" -- spent most of his career with the Washington Capitals.

He says he plans to spend time with his family but wants to remain involved in hockey."


...Happy Trails, Olie. A good career.

I'm sure he can find a job as a goalie coach or trainer. He always had good form, and great conditioning. Perhaps a former team might see the sense in such an investment.

His play really tailed off about three years ago, so this is no surprise at all.

I'm still a little bitter about how Kolzig stoned us in the '98 conference finals.

No wonder they could score on him, they were all feeling damn fine during and after that then.

I think Kolzig set the wins in a season by a goalie record with the Portland Pirates.

It's too bad Arturs Irbe just got hired to be the Caps' goalie coach. Maybe Tampa will bring him aboard.
