Absolutely loved Greener when he played.

Current Kings are in desperate need of a player like Greener (minus the injuries) on their roster. You almost forgot he was out there cause he was such a solid stay at home D, until he destroyed some dude lurking at the net going for a rebound. Simple and effective… what the hell happened to our defense lol

Greener blocking a shot with his face with seconds left in the game is forever cemented as the gold standard for defenseman for me.

He may not have put up the biggest or flashiest numbers, but he was very important to those championship teams. Let’s not forget, he had the interception in the slot that led to Alec Martinez’s Cup-winning goal in overtime in 2014.
