The return of your savory breakfast links:
- Today at Development Camp: 10 a.m.: Group A (which includes Joe Finley, Braden Holtby, Zach Miskovic and Mathieu Perreault) on ice; 2:30 p.m.: Group B (which includes Francois Bouchard, John Carlson, Stefan Della Rovere, Anton Gustafsson) on ice. [Capitals.com]
- Prospects Braden Holtby and Trevor Bruess will be Tweeting from Development Camp all week. Think about how ridiculous that would have sounded a year or two ago. [@washcaps]
- Chris Clark "realizes that his pro career has exceeded expectations." Hopefully, it will continue to. [Watertown Daily Times]
- Bruce Boudreau will be on The Junkies at 8:00 this morning. Or, as will be applicable to most of you, Bruce Boudreau was on The Junkies at 8:00 this morning. [Welcome to the Show]
- Olie Kolzig is "99.9%" sure he's retiring. [Hockeyweb.de via Caps Message Board]
- Speaking of goalies, if you thought the situation in the Caps net was crowded before, there may be another entry in the mix before long. [Alex Ovetjkin]
- This is way overdue, but if you've never checked out Jimmy Jazz's TTT Photo (an example of which is featured top right in this post) do so now. Unbelievable stuff. [TTT Photo]
- "If [the Panthers are] looking for a grinder-type guy who can go to the net, [Graham Mink will] get an [NHL] opportunity," said former Bears head coach (and current Caps assistant) Bob Woods. Here's hoping the Cats are looking for a grinder-type guy who can go to the net. [The Patriot News]
- Put cancer on ice. Do it. [PCOI]
- Peerless is counting down "Ten Games That Mattered in 2008-09," which is far more interesting than "Ten Games That Didn't Matter in 2008-09" (otherwise known as "most of February") would be. [The Peerless Prognosticator]
- Sticking with countdowns, CK has the "Top Ten Capitals Moments Off The Ice" from the past season [Capitals Kremlin (Part I and Part II)]
- Caps Chick's take on the Brendan Morrison discount signing: "[I]it’s probably just the lure of playing alongside one of the game’s great wingers. Thank you, Tomas Fleischmann, for being the bait that draws the big names in." Amen. [A View From the Cheap Seats]
- Mike Green has an awesome dragon. Of course he does. [Design Rink via Home & Design; and yeah, it's an old link, but I've never gotten around to sharing it]
- Finally, happy 46th birthday to The Can't Miss Kid and happy 33rd to Darcy Verot.
Ed. note: We're going to try keep up with a clips post every morning to collect some of the links that might otherwise fall through the cracks and to give you all an open thread to talk about anything you want (which means we hope that the comments to the more single-topic/substantive posts can stay better focused than they sometimes tend to be). Cheers.

Why does this:
remind me of this:
Should be fun today.

Thanks for starting this up again. It’s just like reading the morning Post with coffee.

Only better. Except for the part about keeping liquids away from the computer.

I had the same thought. Nice pull on the clip.

Olie vs. the German language
Using Yahoo’s babelfish (Google’s translator did about the same job on this passage) the paragraph mentioned runs thusly:
“For the moment my active ice hockey career the end of zuzuneigen seems itself. After the rights at me had been exchanged by the Tampa Bay Lightning shortly before the end of the transfer time to the Toronto Leafs, these would have had to make an offer to me by 1 July – there them it to have done, I am however not to be had now Free agent and for each club. But: My body says to me after all the operations lately that it is time to care me for my family. To 99.9 per cent will I mean Schoner to the famous nail to hang.”
I’m thinking “Schoner” might be the word for an obscure but key piece of goalie equipment.
Love the pic in that article, where the whole Kolzig ‘meine Familie’ is wearing Caps’ regalia. Love ya, Big Guy! Joy and happiness.

the picture also looks to have been taken at kettler (probably his last season here), so i don’t think that’s a round-about peace offering to the caps ownership/management. you didn’t say/imply it was; i was just curious!

So sad to see Olie go out like this :(
by RedBirdie on Jul 13, 2009 10:00 AM EDT reply actions 0 recs
Still my all-time favorite Olie moment. It took a lot of guts and the confidence to do this in one take.

Is this the D-Camp thread?
Group A: Joel Broda; Trevor Bruess; Greg Burke; Phil DeSimone; Dan Dunn; Joe Finley; Brett Flemming; Andrew Glass; Braden Holtby; Zack Miskovic; Garrett Mitchell; Mathieu Perreault.
Group B: Francois Bouchard; Benjamin Casavant; John Carlson; Stefan Della Rovere; Cody Eakin; Josh Godfrey; Anton Gustafsson; Jake Hauswirth; Dmitry Kugryshev; Eric Mestery; Dmitri Orlov.
Doesn’t that look a bit uneven? Carlson, Gustafsson, Kugryshev, Mestery and Orlov may be the highest upside kids at camp, and they’re all in the same group. Meanwhile, Group A has both Dunn and Holtby. Does Group B have a goalie?

Group B’s goalies are a pair of invitees – Dustin Carlson (Ohio State) and Garrett Zemlak (Prince Albert of the WHL)

From what I could tell that they rode the B group harder than the A’s also. And I didn’t see Godfrey out there.

Yeah, and it seems to me that Group A is further ahead of Group B in general. (Bouchard is an obvious exception). Interesting division of people.

It sure was fun watching Carlson-Orlov paired in back.
