Hey Guys, hoping to put this out to those who watch the Caps a lot more than me....This specifically goes out to Mikerocksthered

His score sheet hasn't shown a darned thing....And I know it takes time to adjust....But not one point?

How has he looked? Do we have a reason to be optimistic for Green's future?

Okay, I'm curious as an Ovechkin owner who never gets to see games as to how he's playing right now? I know he's scoring quite a bit these past few games, so is he playing better or is it just going in now? I'm curious. I've read some analyst are saying he's playing inspiring hockey, but the rest of the team is just in a funk and they're still sorely missing Backstrom. So what's the deal here? Should I be getting excited for next year with him? I got him about a third of the way into the season and he had one hot streak before now.

Green:
I'd be optimistic about next season, but this season is pretty much done. Ever since coming back Green hasn't looked so well. Specifically in this game they just did an analysis on him. He iced the puck for no apparent reason, he turned the puck over with no pressure and it almost ended up in the back of the net, he bobbled another play closer to the boards which led to another turnover. On offense his passes are off, seems like a lot of rust+head just not being in it. I should also mention he's not getting PP1 ice time which I expect to change next season.

Ovechkin:
Before the past few games this guy has been straight up lazy, with his team fighting for a playoff spot it's amped his compete level a little bit. Instead of trying to be too fancy, he's now shooting from everywhere (like he used to), therefore, more pucks are going in. He still stands STILL in the defensive zone, which really bugs me but as soon as the puck breaks out of the zone he's hustling and trying to create chances. If he goes through a Crosby-like workout regime in the summer there's no telling this guys limit. During the PP's you can tell Backstrom is thoroughly missed.

I'd really appreciate some insight on Laich as I am looking at him as my last fwd.

My take is a consistent 50 point guy, but is there any hope for more? Is he a mainstay in the top six at this point, or is he on the bubble.

A lock in the top six and 2nd PP time probably makes him my choice over Leino.

Thanks
