Alex is being treated like a rock star in Vancouver. Check out these articles to see for yourself. This is deservedly so. Alex is two-time reigning MVP; has great charisma; and is a First Team NHL All-Star. I love the photo montage of him at practice. Wow.

On the other hand, Mike Green, who is also a First Team NHL All-Star, was hit in the head by an Avalanche player who did not receive a suspension by the NHL. See Jim Kelley’s piece here. Thanks Jim and please get well soon. See these articles as well.

What a tough schedule we have tonight and tomorrow night, back to back games again. Wish us luck. Go Caps!
