Going Green

It’s nice to see Mike Green getting some love. I saw Mike Green score some goals in Hershey that were simply amazing. Last season, I would tell him how I thought he had one of the best skating styles and would be one of the best stick handlers in the league. I counseled him to be patient as it would all come together for him and for our team. He is another foundational player in the rebuild of our franchise. And this season, he led all D men in goals scored in the entire NHL.It’s nice to see Mike Green getting some love. I saw Mike Green score some goals in Hershey that were simply amazing.

He’s calm, funny, charismatic and a man of many hairstyles to boot. :-) He forms a part of our Young Guns group; came as part of the rebuild; and is emerging as a Norris trophy candidate. I am sure glad we made those trades to get those picks to be able to draft and develop Mike Green. Aren’t you?

  1. I love Mike Green and think he is a great player. I just hope his salary demands in the offseason aren’t so large that the Caps have to say good bye to him. Ted: tell me that you will do whatever it takes (within reason) to re-sign Green!

  2. Mr. Leonsis,

    I am also very glad that the Caps drafted and developed Mike Green. Now you are seeing the rewards. His scoring success during the season has continued into the post season. Green has been an important piece of the puzzle in the team’s success. What a Game # 1!! Couldn’t have asked for a better one. It started with Brashear’s goal and continued with Green’s goals and finished off with a game winner from the Ovechkin!! It couldn’t have ended better. This was truly an amazing performance!! It displayed the grit, determination, and heart displayed all season long by the Caps!! I love the energy the Caps play with. The enthusiasm in their celebrations after goals are great! I also want to give tremendous credit to Coach B. He really made the Caps believe!

    GO CAPS!!
