There’s nothing excessive about it. The guy is horrible, and with the way he plays, there’s no way you can rightly call him a “defensemen.” He leaves his guy wide open on the backside of the goal regularly. He gets lost on the walls, especially by anyone with some skill like Crosby. Notice how the Caps were rolling in the playoffs until Mike Green came back from injury? Then their entire team started to stall! I can’t blame Green entirely though, as it was mostly the coach’s fault for letting Green on the ice when the rest of the Caps were playing fine before he came back.
