This must be the oddest thread ever, Mike Green great talent, huge potential. Was compared to Bobby Orr (we can only hope) and Al Iafrate (the bare minimum).
With luck somewhere in between, closer to Orr.

I’m a Grandpa of Capsdom?! Damn, that’s harsh fellas.
I remember getting so amped up to see those early Caps-only skills competitions, just to witness Big Al’s three digit missiles.

I agree that Green got a deal that will seem like a bargain very soon. Gonchar wasn’t as good as he is now when he was a Cap, and I agree that Green is almost as good as Gonchar now (some mental mistakes now and then on Green’s part, but he’s learning from them.)
P&B, have you heard from the Caps about the ice situation at the Phone Booth and what is being done to remedy the apparent problem(s)?

i really like the signing of green who i think is a key anchor on this team but i would like to hear from those of you out there for a more informed assessment of his ability to hit and take a hit. it seems to me toward the end of the season and even in the playoffs that green on more than one occasion coughed up the puck in our end when under intense pressure of an incoming hit in the corner. i don;t want to sound too critical but at times he seemed to avoid some of the more physical play in the corners that is so important during the playoffs. how do you all rate him in this area?

agree with doughless’s comment earlier on the need for a “solid blueliner”, I would probably go one step further and state that their won’t be a Cup until we do. I truly believe (very humbly i might add) that this Caps mgmt is laying a foundation for this team in making sure OV and Greenie are signed long term. I think it’s a great msg to send to the rest of the guys on this team that if you step it up, you will be rewarded with a fair long term deal. Having a Norris-worthy puckhandler (generating offense—-ie Greenie) along with another Norris-worthy stand up Blueliner signed long term should be the minimum necessary to have this team seriously considered for post-season honors.
