Things I love, in order:

1) Mike Green scoring goals.

2) Mike Green’s hair like this.

3) Mike Green taking himself SO SERIOUSLY.

Of course it’s stupid to say your bad long hair affected your play, Mike!  It’s also dumb to say that I haven’t worn any Caps gear to the last four games and you’ve won them all, but I’ll keep doing it because it’s working!  It doesn’t hurt that it’s foxy as all get out too.  You need to sell tickets – warm up without your helmet.

Mike played a great game last night – the latest in a row of great games for him.  He had a goal and some stellar chances, plus strong defensive play and legs under him all night.  He’s got 9 G in 28 games.  Last year he had just 3 G in 32 games, and the year before scored 8 in 49.

More of this and you can be as serious as you want.  I’ve got sugar and Twitter and not a single Caps logo visible anywhere.  Play on!
