Sarge!!!!!! He leads the entire NHL in plus/minus rating. He is ahead of Alex Ovechkin in plus/minus on our team.
He is quiet. He doesn’t toot his own horn. He does his job and he does it very well.
So I will toot his horn.
We are proud of Jeff; his development; his acumen to make smart plays; and his ability to be on the ice and make good things happen for us.
We think we have a great group of young developing D men and we are quite happy with Jeff Schultz this season.
Go Caps! And thank goodness we never listen to some of the “experts” that call into radio shows after our games. Just saying…”Jeff Schultz leads the entire NHL in plus/minus rating.”

I hope the folks that call the Caps radio show all of the time after every game read this blog post.
I hope the hosts of the show read it too.
We wouldn’t want facts to ever get in the way of fans’ opinions though, would we?
Thanks Japers’ for the hard work and the analytics. Jonathan - you are now armed with facts. Dazzle me.

We pay - collectively - the six starting D men this evening what we pay Mike Green.
Our D is missing Green, Schultz, Poti, Erskine and on an ongoing basis Pothier.
We are missing five key starting defensemen for our club and if you add in Fedorov, who can also play defense, you can see how shorthanded we have become on the blue line.

I remember Alex Ovechkin and his family mingling and warmly welcoming all of our prospects that were drafted by us. I remember Alex eating about ten cantaloupes and working the door at our fan club event. I remember Mike Green and Chris Bourque bonding and my talking to his dad (Ray Bourque) about the importance of this draft to us as a franchise. I remember Jeff Shultz looking shy and then standing up to meet Alex Ovechkin and Alex saying, “Good. You are tall. You will put on weight and you can help me when I rush down ice.”
We have had some bad drafts in the past - as do many clubs - but this was an exceptionally good draft. To have the MVP and the league’s leading D man scorer come from one draft and for there to be so many players that have or will make it in the NHL is a great testament to our scouts and front office.
I knew something was special in the air at that draft. Kudos to Mike for reminding us all how special it was.

Less we forget, we had an incredible run and played with heart and determination. We played a seven game series and on the sidelines - wearing business suits - were a first line forward and our captain, Chris Clark; our veteran center, Michael Nylander; and two top four D men for us in Jeff Schultz and Brian Pothier. Injuries are a part of the game but we missed these vet players and look forward to their off-season recovery.
