I will never forget "The Save", thank you Holts.

He is up there with Marc Andre Fleury these two are the greatest goalies and the nicest kindness caring compassionate humble human beings that you could possibly ever meet my God bless him and his family as they as they start the chapter of their life with the Vancouver Canucks.

You will always be our Stanley Cup Champion goalie. You have always been a great man. Love you Holts

He will always be the best goalie to dawn a caps sweater. Thank you for "The Save". Maybe come back in 2 years

Thank you so much holts

He’ll be the greatest goalie in Washington history

We will take care of him

You Holts are the reason I’m playing competitive hockey right now. I was playing rec level hockey and my parents gave me a choice to either quit hockey all together or keep going, and I picked keep going, because I “always wanted to be like Holtby”. I tried out being goalie at next years tryouts and made the second highest team. Next year I made the highest team and now I am at the highest team again and looking to play AAA. Every time I think about quitting cause I can’t take it anymore, I think about what you had to go through to make it to the NHL and I push myself harder. Your my inspiration and I will root for you every step of the way 🔴⚪️🔵

When I first saw him I knew he was the best of the three goalies Holtby, neuwirth ,varlamov we had at that time as a Caps fan since 1975 I thank you for bringing home the cup

As a fan from Germany I'm very grateful I got to see him win another game at home just a few months ago during a visit to D.C. - 70 = legend!

Big saves big memories thank you holts

Gone but, never forgotten...Thank Holts for all the wonderful memories. Wishing you the best in all your future endeavors.

Braden comes from a tremendous family. I had the pleasure of meeting and talking to some in Edmonton during a Caps visit.

Thank you holts, thank you

I’m sad he’s gone but I thank him for everything

Arturs Irbe was one of the Holts coaches back in the days in DC, what a legend!

Man I remember when we played Boston in the first round and holtby became the starter for the first time and they had him ranked as the worst goalie going into the playoffs and he single handedly helped us beat Boston by notching like 40 saves every game, he took the reigns and never looked back. Respect holt, thank you for the years

Holtby will always be the goalie for my favorite team. It’s been an absolute pleasure to watch Holtbeast do his work. A good human on and off the ice.

So sad to see him leave.

love u holtby 4ever

The HOLTBEAST you will always be these kid's idol man you made my kid's whole world.

Always awesome seeing him in the east, I dreaded every game the islanders had to play against him, but in the end of the day something about Holtby made him one of my favorite goalies in the league, cheered him on all year and kept a close eye on his stats yearly, it’s upsetting to see him leave the metro

he'll forever be "the goalie" in WSH

I have been born, and lived my life in BC Canada. The Canucks have been my team since I was old enough to know what hockey was. I think I speak for most Vancouver fans when I say that I am very excited and honored to see him in our jersey. A video like this one really shows what kind of human being he is, and what a great addition to the team and community he will be.

I've never seen a man who rocks beard as good as holts. love him ❤️

So sad that he's leaving :( One of my favorite Capitals.

We lost a legend

Man, I'm trying to hold back tears watching this video. He's not a Cap anymore, but I'm still gonna follow him playing for the Canucks(curious what his new equipment setup is gonna look like). He's now got a goalie coach in Ian Clark, who coaches goalies the same way Mitch Korn does. I think Holtby is gonna have a strong bounce back year.

Stood in front my tv crying when you guys won the cup.. played back “the save” at least a dozen times.. man.. thankyou sir!! From a life long caps fan.. GOD BLESS YOU ON YOUR JOURNEY... HOLTBEEEEAST!!!!!! Scratch that.. 15 times .. after this vid..

Proud to say that he’s from Saskatchewan!! Washington Capitals and the fans will miss you!!

Thank you Holts, you changed the game of hockey. Washington will miss you!

Washington have no choice but to retire the Number 70 uniform. Thank you for the memories, Holtbeast! Especially for THE SAVE!

Watching him play in Hershey as a kid for me was awesome and seeing him on TV with the Caps and winning the cup with Beags and Carly was even better❤️will definitely be missed in the organization

Holtby, Equally as great human being as a Hockey player. If only the world could love without prejudice like he does. Thanks for all the saves. You will be missed.

He will always be my favorite

I'm going to miss you Holtby. Thanks for all the great memories 💖

Thank you for everything you have done for us Holtby! I will miss you and you have been the best Goaltender ever and I will never forget that! and my favorite player as well and thanks for the memories! #ThankyouHolts! #AllCAPS

I’m not crying, there’s just some dust in my eye, some game changing, humble, cup-winning, role model for us all, puck stopping dust

Greatest goalie in caps history. Love you holts

The great Braden Holtby, a damn good netminder in my eyes. Also a great human being. Live long and prosper!!! Hockey is the greatest!!! J'aime le Canada!!!

Braden Holtby was Born To Feel.

You left this place better than you found it. Thank you Braden for everything. ❤❤

Holtby you will always have a special place in my heart ❤️ I grew up watching you, i wanna say thanks for the cup and being the best goalie we could’ve asked for! It helped because I also had to battle cancer I would just watch ur highlights, or the caps game.

From a Flyer Fan who lived in the Greater DC Metro Area and watched a lot of Cap games and local sports casts. 1) An incredible owner and franchise; 2) an incredible net minder/teammate/hockey ambassador and what a save. Good lucks Holts on your next team...cannot wait to see you play in person again but this time at at the Wachovia Center.

He is a great person! Thanks for everything! From Moscow with love!

I’m so sad that he’s leaving... he was my favorite player on the Caps. :(

thanks holts you will always be loved back in DC never forget that

Отличный вратарь и настоящий МУЖИК !!! Спасибо за игру !!! Хорошей карьеры !

This was a great tribute and coming from a 'Nucks fan. I havent got to see a lot of him, but I know he's a good goalie. Excited to see him in Vancouver

Imagine hank and holtby 🤯🙌🏻🙌🏻

As a Pens fan I always hated him on the ice but he’s one hell of a guy off the ice. Nothing but respect for him.

That back to back shutout in the play offs against Tampa Bay!! Love ya Holtby ❤

Braden! thank you for the show! good luck! from the shores of Baikal with love

As a C.A.P.S Caps Caps Caps fan, i was fortunate enough to see this team play. Thanks for the memories Holts!

Canuck fans please take good care of him he is an amazing goalie and I miss Him more than anything being on our team and I will NEVER for get “the save” miss you holtby

Watching this made me cry - Holts deserves better than season he just had. Team needs to support him and he will deliver like he did for Caps. When a goalie makes his best save in a Cup Final duruing a Cup clinching game - it cant fucking get better than this! Hope to see Holts lift another Cup and I sure want him to finish his career with us in Capitals...

WE WILL MISS YOU HOLTS!!!! :( :( :( :( :( :(

Honestly makes me really really sad! Loved watching him every weekend in Hershey! Always rooted for him and just knew he was going to take his career way further then the bears! He also reminds me of the love of my life. She loved hockey and Holtby! I wish so badly he would have retired as a Cap but will always be a fan of Braden Holtby!

Thank you legend😪😪🔝

Best goalie ever that save is forever is the books as one of the best of all time thanks braden

Holtby was a major backbone in the Caps' 2018 cup run, and in Vancouver he is gonna shine well. Edit: Well, half of that statement was true.

Coming from a Vegas fan, thanks holtby for giving such an entertaining series even though we lost. Truly a special something in net

“We all have are changes your change should be better then what you left behind” - Rob Christopher

Спасибо, Вратарь!!!!!!

Welcome to Vancouver Holts! Just do your thing man! 👍💥🎶😃

Not just an amazing goaltender but an amazing person, the pens had the honor of facing him several times in the playoffs, winning and losing some. As a pens fan, good luck in Vancouver we’re gonna miss you here in the east 😢

I love Holtby, wish we never got rid of him. He had such a good impact on the locker room and team as a whole, really would love to see him come back to the team. By far the best Goalie we’ve ever had. Without Holtby, we don’t have that cup run in 2018.

Still a Holts fan! Had fun cheering for him for all these years!

Thanks for everything Braden good luck in Vancouver

He will always be a legend in capitals history. Goodbye holts!!

I will never forget the save thank you holts

Thanks holtby legend I miss you

Too soon Caps! This is like putting salt on the wound. 😥 You will be missed Holtbeast!

Welcome to Vancouver and thank you @Capitals ... he'll really be excited with this new group of young ones... EP is unreal and his intense focus and drive at such a young age is rare... he is just as good and takes great pride in defending also

Braden, thanks a lot! Warm greetings from Siberia!

He is a legend and still an elite goaltender

When he played in our city for the Saskatoon Blades in junior I already knew he was NHL material. He stayed with it. Minor leagues to the NHL and back down again. He kept himself ready and when an injured Caps goalie went down he showed up and eventually grabbed the starting role. The man earned it all and deserves it all... #Holtbeast

We will miss u holpy

Mad respect for the man! Can't wait for you to join us in Vancouver.

Ngl being a penguins fan, I always watched their games and saw the amazing saves hed make, he will have a great Impact with vancouver

Thank you holt's for out 1st cup and going to be a future HOFer if you can keep up.

Holtbeast!! The only goalie to carry the capitals to a Stanley Cup!! You are sorely missed.

I'm not even a caps fan but this made me cry.... Holtby is a phenom!!!

Welcome to Vancouver! We love you!

Canucks fan here-so grateful you chose to come over to Vancouver!

The best CAPS goalie ever. Thank You and good luck in Canucks.

Yessss . Holts is a very nice human being ! ... !

Holtby has been my favorite goalie for quite awhile and as a Canucks fan I couldn't be happier to have him on the team.

Thank you for “The Save” HOLTS
