Happy 26th Birthday, Mike Green!  People born between October 11 & 12 are especially awesome, wouldn’t you agree?  We should get today off work in DC, since we had to work Columbus Day.

Alleged discovery of North American continent? Who cares.

Obvious location of Mike Green World Domination HQ?  Approved.

We could post the Cribs where Mikey talks about pickles, one of the may shots Mike blocked with his head, a slap-fight, a nude-colored belt or a Geico commercial.  But personally, I prefer this all-time MG52 best video:

Ah, my favorite NHL bromance.  In honor of this season’s first road trip to Pittsburgh, Caps Breakaway asked which player would be chosen first in a “Best Roommate” draft.  Watch how much Mikey loves Nicky [link].

Here’s hoping that 26 bring Mike a return to the points total of two seasons ago, another Norris Trophy nomination and maybe even something past the second round of the playoffs.

Enjoy a real Greener highlight reel, including all 8 goals he scored into break the NHL record for consecutive games with goals by a defenseman (which he still holds).
