Capitals defenseman Mike Green is a welcome sight on the blue line. ... more >“Sometimes you can throw a curveball in it, it can derail or the train can go off the tracks,” Green said. “We just got to reel it in here this last month and get ready to put ourselves on a playoff spot and then go for a long haul from there.”
Last year, the Caps added center Jason Arnott and defenseman Dennis Wideman at the deadline and Marco Sturm on waivers shortly before. Those guys weren’t the problem, but they also proved they weren’t the answer to winning the Cup.
Last offseason, when Brooks Laich signed a six-year, $27 million contract to stay with the Caps, he thought this team could win at least one championship.
“This is the team I was really excited about in the summer,” he said Tuesday, “and I still believe that this is a very good hockey team and a team that can get it done.”
