He's just 22 -- he's maturing right on a realistic schedule. For the Caps to expect this caliber of play, and this level of maturity (for 50 minutes a night anyway, ahem) at 21, with under 80 or 100 games of NHL play, was unrealistic. No matter what GMGM said five times yesterday.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14235054856583026039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14427229.post-5421750386017896062007-12-14T12:31:00.000-05:002007-12-14T12:31:00.000-05:00Not to mention no one could sign a 10 year 120 mil...Not to mention no one could sign a 10 year 120 million dollar contract because the $12M annual salary would surpass what it allowed for an individual playerDMGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03737116968841961638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14427229.post-85429191703157349372007-12-14T12:06:00.000-05:002007-12-14T12:06:00.000-05:009-6 games are terrible.

They do nothing, because usually even though the score is that high, it's still a 3 goal win, which means the game isn't close.Whiter Magehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06862726277868219743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14427229.post-39137065809533110082007-12-14T11:31:00.000-05:002007-12-14T11:31:00.000-05:00--Mike Green's breakout season, just in time for h...--Mike Green's breakout season, just in time for his first shot at restricted free agency! Probably a coincidence given how defensemen tend to catch up to the speed of the NHL game, but still Green's timing is good (for him).<BR/><BR/>--Faux, top players like Ovechkin have little incentive to sign that longterm of a deal, which is why you're seeing more peripheral young players (like Richards, Hooks Orpikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04043702689071051472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14427229.post-28900008643612812052007-12-14T10:15:00.000-05:002007-12-14T10:15:00.000-05:00RE: Fehr --- Thanks, JR!
