taking Green off the powerplay would really help the scoring, he loses the puck/makes terrible decisions every single time

No he doesn't.
Isn't our PP 7 for the last 14 or something like that? He is a big part of the reason why.
The last 2 years he has been oft injured and playing at less than 100%. Our PP has struggled.
He looks much better this year and...SURPRISE..our PP looks good again.
Its not a mere coincidence.
His D has improved by miles too.

For a team that was built to limit scoring chances at the expense of all else, Wideman was on for the most GA by far. Considering how close each game ended up being, I'd actually say he contributed the most to the Caps' exit.At least someone has some sense. Jeesh, caps fans seem to be the most bipolar fans I've ever seen. I know fans are irrational, but he has a kinda bad year cause hes injured and LET'S TRADE HIM. That's what everyone said about Semin.. I miss him, I think he was making HUGE strides to getting better every year and now when he's finally playing smart hockey we let him go to Carolina?! Also he was Ovi's really good friend, and I'm PRETTY sure Ovi was pretty bitter at the beginning of the season about it. Caps fan's and McPhee have such short leashes on players. Even Wideman got a ton of **** that he didn't deserve. He had a few bad raps and everyone thought he was atrocious, sure he's not great but he wasn't the reason we lost the playoffs. Look at Ward, people were on his ass SO BAD and he was INJURED. Look at how he's playing in a system that fits him and when he's healthy.

Also a fine choice, but as difficult as it was to comprehend, I believe the lion's share of those minuses were not due to Schultz. Wideman pinched at terrible times, chased guys behind the net, lost men in coverage, etc., etc., etc. One Schultz can only do so much.I voted Sarge, who had the same minus, but in less games.
But our forwards had hands in crucial gaffes too, Beagle lost on a backcheck in OT, and Ward's high stick of course.
But Wideman had two games at even steven. Dominating. Winning.
Imagine the pressure a guy like Wideman had. Every loose puck, every icing touch, every clear, every break out, every crease clear, there was Sarge glaring at him. That's a lot of pressure.
