Your savory breakfast links:
- When superstars collide (with pictures). Epic. [Bog]
- Larry Murphy endorses Mike Green for the Norris Trophy. [OFB]
- Green is really good, FYI. [WaTi]
- Bruce Boudreau keeps trying to find new ways to motivate his club. [WaPo]
- Go vote for "The Superhuman Spin." [TSN.ca]
- I wonder if it would light a fire under Alex Ovechkin to know that he was less clutch than Alexei Ponikarovsky in March. Seriously. [USAToday]
- AO and his l'il buddy rank first and sixth, respectively, among the League's best Russians. [THN]
- All the "Caps" on Twitter in one place. What an odd phenomenon that was really only properly executed by one man. [CK]
- Braden Holtby went from losing a playoff Game 7 in the WHL to getting called up to the AHL in about a 12-hour span. [Star Phoenix]
- Hershey's also getting a big - and we mean big - boost next week. [DandC]
- Speaking of Hershey, in case you missed it, Alex Giroux and Keith Aucoin have been named to the AHL's First All-Star Team. Congrats to both, and it's amazing what translates - and what doesn't - to the next level, isn't it? [Caps.com]
- Our condolences to Chris Bourque on the passing of his grandfather. [Boston Globe]
- Dale Hunter's London Knights are "the marquee franchise in the Canadian Hockey League."
High praise from someone who knows a bit about winning - Detroit Red Wings General Manager Ken Holland. Good to have John Carlson (and Justin Taylor) learning there, isn't it? [LFP] - On this date back in the year 2000, Olie Kolzig passed Don Beaupre to become the franchise's all-time leader in games played by a goalie with 270 (a record that now stands at 711 - only 707 to go, Simeon!).

Just FYI, that Knights quote isn’t from Holland, it’s Craig Goslin (President of the Saginaw Spirit, their 2nd round opponent) who’s friends with Holland.

It’s going to get really crowded in that Hershey locker room. Heck it may be just as crowded in the press box with all the healthy scratches they will potentially have. Nice to have such troubles.

Doesn’t he want his name spelled Semyon, or something?

even as a semin apologist, i’d swap that list’s sixth and seventh best russians in a heartbeat.

I think 6 stays where he is. Swap 5 and 7.
