Mike Green apparently has a new website. Understated it is not. (H/t CapsChick)

I dunno. I kind of like it, although I think I’d like it better if he wrote in proper English … :)
It seems very suited to his personality (what we know of it, anyway).

It’s not bad at all, but the banner is a bit bling-y. The photo section is awesome, though.

Mike Green. bling-y? Never :) Nah, I think Greenie likes his bling and he’s got a bit of a thing for the whole bad boy attitude.
Sure it’s bling-y, but I guess it doesn’t bother me so much because it screams his personality, and that amuses me. Can’t tell you why other than that.
And yes, the photo section is awesome. He’s also got a Twitter feed, in case you hadn’t noticed.

I had, and I agree, it doesn’t bother me one bit – he is who he is, and we wouldn’t want him any other way.

I love that second picture where he’s about to destroy Pomminville. I am a little disconcerted that a couple of those pictures look like he’s playing without a mouth guard in. I can’t imagine the training staff would let any player get away with that so I doubt that is really the case.

If it’s real I actually do think it’s awesome, bad grammar and all…and come on, JP, you know you and the other Rink boys are just days away from putting similar pictures of yourselves up! How many tattoos do you have?
Moderated. It wasn’t appropriate.

Yeah, the thing seems designed to curl Don Cherry’s hair…

Greenie looks like he has “bulked” up a bit and also has a link on the home page to a hockey conditioning training program called Crash. I wonder if that’s a statement to all the critics that said he was out of shape last year.
Yeah, there are few that are bigger Mike Green fans than I (although many equals, I’m sure), but this does a bit over the top. Granted, I’m 99.9% sure he would have commissioned someone to do this for him, so it’s not like you can look at like something “he did”…but then again if it is legit, he would have had to approve it.
It’s alright, sites like this aren’t really my thing—they’re all over pro sports as many athletes have them…his agent probably wants to help “promote his off-the-ice image” or something.
I am curious to see what pops up on his twitter page though.

Is it bad that I laugh every time I see the picture? Like, really, kids from Calgary go all gangsta? Or maybe his years in Arlington have introduced him to thug life? Next thing you know he’ll be flashing his street cred by wearing brown sandals.
LOL at the brown sandals…I don’t know if anyone remembers that video of all the Development Camp prospects doing the DC tour but they all seemed Arlington-ready, with plaid shorts and brown flip-flops.
Welcome to the DC area, boys.
Maybe we can meet up with him at the Starbucks. Or the Starbucks. Or the Starbucks. Or the Starbucks. Or the…

Awesome reference. That video is great. I went to high school with the guy who made it and didn’t even notice that fact until someone told me weeks later.

What would Gordie Howe say, I wonder, about all this vanity/attention?
Nothing awfully flattering, I guess.

Do we care what Don Cherry thought of Ovechkin last year?

now that I deleted my superfluous fan shot (sorry, missed this one somehow this morning) i think its pretty cool that Green is doing this, though I too chuckled a bit at the “blinginess”.
Who wants to take bets on when the updates basically stop? Mid october?
Because now I can justify browsing and commenting during the work day with the argument that I am promoting my business.
I also love the reactions of some of the fans in the photos of hits near the glass

I bet they continue all year. Greenie didn’t build the thing, and he ain’t updating it. Somebody has a contract to do that. The thing is probably coordinated through his agent.

Ya know...
…someone commented on PuckDaddy that this made Mike Green the biggest d-b (the b stands for “bag”, the d is left as an exercise for the reader) in the league.
This is incorrect, since the following people are still in the league:
Sean Avery
Darcy Tucker
Cindy Sidney Crosby
Sean Avery
Todd Bertuzzi
Sean Avery
Plus there are countless others that also rate higher on the d-b scale. Not to mention that Jim Ball-silly, the inventor of the Crackberry wants to join the NHL, presumably to compete with Avery for the title…

Not to rip off J.P. or anything, but WTF does anyone care what the PD commenterati thinks about anything?

Was making an observation, tis all…

Site Poorly Designed
I just wanted to say this, I love Mike Green and I love how he’s trying to market himself more. The attention will be great for the Capitals and himself, as he’s one of the coolest guys ever and that can only benefit everyone involved. But considering the cash he makes, one of his friends or a friend of a friend must have made this site, because it’s pretty bad.
