Jack from Caps blog Tic Tac Toe Hockey posed a query to James Mirtle concerning Mike Green."Can
you honestly tell me that a GM wouldn't take a Scott Stevens or Zdeno
Chara -- both of whom have zero Norris trophies on their resume -- over
a guy like Green?"
It started a nice discussion about Green, defensemen, and the Norris trophy. Check it out at Mirtle's blog, From the Rink. Also, be sure to vote in his poll, "Should Mike Green be one of the top candidates for the Norris Trophy this season?"

The Washington Captials are pretty good. They currently sit at number 2 in the Eastern Conference with 34 wins. Why are they so good? Well there are plenty of reasons but one of those reasons is Mike Green. He has scored 19 goals in 41 games, that tops his previous best of 18 goals which last ...

New Month, New Challenges
Starting off with a huge play on Saturday with the Buckeyes and Bulldogs. While I'm not taking anything away from Butler and their fantastic guard tandem of A.J. Graves and Mike Green, Ohio State will cover tonight with a huge bloated number. There is absolutely no way ? after being embarrassed by Texas A&M and North Carolina ? that Thad Matta lets this one get ugly. Because...

Now this is an interesting story: the Hockey Hall of Fame understandably wants the hockey stick Mike Green used in Tampa this past Saturday to set an NHL record for the most consecutive games by a defenseman scoring a goal, but Greener ain't parting with it. That, too, is understandable. Think ...

As noted yesterday, the Caps Drumline has been making their presence known at games lately. A quick Google search led me to discover the drumline's identity: "The Mean Green"
from George Mason University. (That explains the green drums.) It's
almost like Mike Green has his own marching band; he certainly deserves
one. Luckily for fans, the drumline will be...

A few weeks ago before the Redskins game I met Nicklas Backstrom, Alex Ovechkin, and Mike Green down on the field. I will not lie and say I am a huge hockey fan cause I'm not. I have never been to or even watched a game. So for me, meeting these three was like meeting some regular guys excited ...

The Washington Capitals' players boast quite an array of high-end
vehicles -- from Alex Ovechkin's uber-Mercedes to Donald Brashear's
low-slung jet-black Lamborghini. So it makes sense that a few of the
Caps were at the annual Washington Auto Show last night, signing
autographs for an impressively long queue of red-clad Capitals fans...

Zorn creating retirement home for over the hill Seahawks
It's good to see that Jim Zorn is starting to find a little traction in the front office, but I simply can not agree with a philosophy of just sticking a random ex-Seahawk into a problem area. Laddell Betts has always done a fantastic job of filling in for the OFTEN injured Clinton Portis. Hell, in 2006 the man rushed for over 1100 yards. Betts was a free agent shortly there...
