Mike Green has apparently aggravated his groin injury.
That's why Green missed Friday's practice. "It’s just not quite feeling right," Capitals coach Adam Oates said. "He played a couple games, got hit a little bit. It’s just not quite right, so we’re taking a step back until he heals." Green previously missed three straight games due to the injury.

Just dropped him for Dougie Hamilton in my full keeper a couple minutes ago, and I don't care who knows it. It took me way too long to do it, and let me tell you, clicking the "Add Player" button was so liberating. Frankly, I expect someone to grab him off waivers and I say be my guest. If he does turn it around and become reasonably relevant again, good on them. I'd prefer to trade in my Green card today and live in peace and harmony in the meantime. Good riddance.
Dougie Hamilton, nice PPP with Seguin this afternoon. Looking forward to that duo on the PP for years to come!

Funny story; earlier this season, I offered the Green GM Kronwall for Green and a 4th. The GM, who is a bit of a dork sometimes, said he wanted Pietrangelo (at the time he was 2nd in league D scoring). I asked him if he was feeling all right? Maybe he just got over a concussion or something.
We didn't do the deal and thank the hockey Gods we didn't. Kronwall is first in D scoring now and Green is...well....Green is Green.

Mike Green (groin) will not play on Thursday.
It will be the third straight contest Green has missed. He didn't skate on Thursday, so it doesn't look like he's close to returning.

Green (groin) was out on the ice for Friday's morning skate, Katie Carrera of The Washington Post reports.
Recommendation: Green has sat out six of the past eight games with a groin injury. His status for Saturday's game against the Islanders is unknown.

Ihope he stays out for a couple more weeks at least.
1) If he comes back and re aggravates it again, I'll be livid.
2) With Quick playing like barf I can't drop Bernier just yet.
This is classic Mike Green:
Mike Green (groin) was back on the ice Friday morning.
Although that is good news, he was not with his teammates as he skated by himself. The Capitals are justifiably being cautious with their star defenseman. "I think he felt pretty good. I’ll find out later from [head athletic trainer Greg Smith] after he ices down and all that and how he feels the next day," Caps' coach Adam Oates said. "You think it’s healed but then as soon as you get real contact [it acts up again]. You can replicate as much as you want but until you get into a game in the heat of the moment and take an unguarded hit, you don’t know." For now keep Green on your bench.
