PrintYour savory breakfast links:
- Previews of tonight's game against the Bolts from Vogs, Peerless and NHL.com, and be sure to check out our SB Nation partner Raw Charge for coverage from the other side of tonight's match up.
- To refresh your memory, this is the fifth meeting between the Caps and Lightning on the season, with the Caps winning 3-0, 3-2 and 5-4 games and taking a 7-4 loss in Tampa.
- As of yesterday, it looked as if Mike Knuble, Eric Belanger, John Carlson, Tyler Sloan and Quintin Laing would be tonight's scratches (Caps In Pictures has some shots from yesterday's practice, by the way).
- By virtue of Atlanta's loss last night, the Caps are once again Southeast Division Champs. Yawn. [DCEx]
- Back to Belanger, he's the subject of today's Post hockey file. [WaPo]
- Apparently there are seven cities that deserve a Cup more than D.C. does. [The Hockey News]
- Brooks Laich is just so awesome at life. [D.C. Sports Bog]
- That the Caps are below average in both minor penalties taken and penalty killing is, um, troubling. [Peerless]
- Set aside a few minutes to read the last three paragraphs and daydream a bit. [Puck Prospectus]
- Lisa Hillary sits down with Ted Leonsis for a chat. [CSN Washington]
- Could Alex Ovechkin set the single-season mark for points by a leftwing? Missing those eight games sure didn't help his chances. [A Capital Offense]
- Scott Walker really loves the Metro, which brings the total number of D.C.-area residents who do up to... one. [D.C. Sports Bog]
- Caps fans on Twitter get a big plus-one. [Dump n' Chase]
- Which is more important to an organization's success - a franchise player or an owner who knows what the hell he's doing? Luckily, Caps fans don't have to choose. [SB Nation, Ted's Take]
- Barack the Red, if you're inclined to do so. [D.C. Sports Bog, RMNB]
- Good stuff from Laich and AO on stick preparation, though ESPN's video player is NFG. [FanShot]
- Another reason to love John Carlson? He's a Shawshank guy. [CSN Washington]
- Know what's awesome about that whole "1920s reporter" schtick? Yeah, pretty much nothing. [D.C. Sports Bog]
- Vote on who should win the Hart Trophy. [NBC Sports]
- While you're making your weekend plans, consider making the RtR/FFODC viewing party for Sunday's game part of 'em - a chance to boo Cristobal Huet with friends! [RtR, FFODC]
- Mike Modano chose not to waive his no trade clause to possibly be moved to Washington. His loss (and maybe ours, in a sense). [ProHockeyTalk]
- The Caps and the Bears: one heck of a duo. [Patriot-News]
- A look at the Caps' amateur hockey efforts (and no, "signing Tyler Sloan" isn't on the list). [Ted's Take]
- Finally, happy 33rd birthday to Brent Johnson, who I believe retired after last season. Or something.

Good lord, I swear to God that every other NHLer cites “Shawshank Redemption” as their favorite movie. I love reading THN’s “Getting To Know (X Player)” because they are so hilarious.
So, Player X, what music do you like:
“Little bit of everything. Metallica. Pearl Jam.”
Favorite Ice Cream flavor:
“I’m a vanilla guy.”
Favorite movie:
“Shawshank Redemption”
Favorite book:
“I don’t read too many, but probably the [latest inspriational athlete’s autobiography]”
It’s so hilariously boring. Like Crosby boring.
But “The Shank” is really a great film.
"the other day on sportscenter they said something along the lines of "the capitals score so much tiger woods is jealous" haha had me laughing hard while i was eating my cereal"
Shawshank is my all-time favorite film. Guys always think I’m weird and that it should be some chick flick. I also love A Few Good Men, and Tom Cruise has absolutely nothing to do with that love.

That whole scene is so good, it deserves to be shown in its entirety:
Judge Randolph: Consider yourself in Contempt!
Kaffee: Colonel Jessep, did you order the Code Red?
Judge Randolph: You don’t have to answer that question!
Col. Jessep: I’ll answer the question!
[to Kaffee]
Col. Jessep: You want answers?
Kaffee: I think I’m entitled.
Col. Jessep: You want answers?
Kaffee: I want the truth!
Col. Jessep: You can’t handle the truth!
[pauses]
Col. Jessep: Son, we live in a world that has walls, and those walls have to be guarded by men with guns. Whose gonna do it? You? You, Lt. Weinburg? I have a greater responsibility than you could possibly fathom. You weep for Santiago, and you curse the marines. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know. That Santiago’s death, while tragic, probably saved lives. And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, saves lives. You don’t want the truth because deep down in places you don’t talk about at parties, you want me on that wall, you need me on that wall. We use words like honor, code, loyalty. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent defending something. You use them as a punchline. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very freedom that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said thank you, and went on your way, Otherwise, I suggest you pick up a weapon, and stand a post. Either way, I don’t give a damn what you think you are entitled to.
Kaffee: Did you order the Code Red?
Col. Jessep: I did the job I…
Kaffee: Did you order the Code Red?
Col. Jessep: You’re Goddamned right I did!

I think Morgan Freeman would sound great doing color for Vs. I have no idea who he would replace because its been so long since I’ve seen a Vs. feed.
I truely hope that scratching Knuble for tonight’s game is only because he’s a little bit older and could use the rest, and not for other reasons. Especially on the tear he’s been on the last month or so.
I need 100% of you guys to give 110% 100% of the time.

I have no problem with any of the scratches. Knuble looked a little slow/invisible in the Carolina game, so he could probably use the day off. Carlson needs to sit out a couple of games so he doesn’t lose his Rookie of the Year eligibility for next season and Belanger could probably use the game to sit up high and get an overview of how the team plays its system. Laing and Sloan, well…
Throw Fehr on the first line in the Knuble role?

Apparently there are seven cities that deserve a Cup more than D.C. does
1. Buffalo? OK, what’s the deal with rewarding a team with an owner who “doesn’t look to be in it for the long haul?” Call us when they get an owner committed to the team, the fans, and the community for at least the “medium” haul.
2. Minneapolis? They gave us Herb Brooks, so that’s in their favor, too. But by the same token, they have U-M, which has won five NCAA titles (the last in 2003). It’s not like they have nothing to live for.
3. Vancouver? Hey you just had the Olympics. Gimme a break.
4. Chicago? Ooh, this is a tough one. But hey, let ’em cry in their deep-dish pizza.
5. San Jose? The"Bill the Cat" of the NHL? ACK
6. Toronto? Are you freaking kidding me? Team Entitlement? Their fans seem to think the Leafs not getting a Cup is grounds for war crimes trials.
7. Los Angeles? The land where six-foot tall, blonde goddesses outnumber the population of cockroaches in New York? Hee-yeah… right. They’re suffering.

Oh C’mon, you have to feel for Buffalo! That city has never won anything. Maybe the Bisons did once. I don’t know. Minor League Baseball tends not to be celebrated too much.
Buffalo should be number 1-5.

The first professional hockey game I went to was in Buffalo, my Dad took me, I was about 7 I think. Great hockey fans- kind of like Minnesota in that they actually know hockey, except people from Buffalo don’t talk funny. Smallest NHL city in the US too, and their fans are crazy about the cashews.

Since they had to go through my Dolphins and my first true love Dan Marino in the prime of his career to get there, no, you cannot imagine the pain.

different sport, Minneapolis also has the Twins, who may not be able to get out of the first round but have won five of the last 10 AL Central pennants. And finished tied for it last season as well before falling in a one-game playoff. And two of the past 5 AL MVPs play there. Yeah, Minneapolis isn’t exactly hurting for sporting winners. Which is a hell of a lot more sports success than those of us in DC have seen recently.

If I may, a reading from the Book of Zephyr:
Newsflash: it doesn’t make you seem more intelligent or like a better Caps fan if you neg on everything awesome they are achieving right now and talk about how nothing matters because they didn’t win the Cup yesterday.
That type of reply keeps popping up to people just admiring what the Caps are doing NOT in reply to someone saying, "Wow, I’m completely satisfied with this season and everything the Caps have done. Time to hang up the skates."
Crapping on winning the Division as a means of demonstrating that you have your sights set on bigger things is hellalame. We all want – and expect – greater things. But that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t recognize accomplishments along the way there, and winning a third-consecutive SED title with a month to go is an accomplishment worth recognizing… at least for a moment or two.

It’s all part of the rich parade of life…
- become competitive
- win division
- win a playoff series
- win conference
- win President’s Trophy
- win conference championship
- win Stanley Cup
On the other hand, isn’t the “title or nothing” pretty much the theme in Hershey?
If you've read this far...seek help.
Definitely. But it can be there – they’re in double-digits. If that was the policy here, the Caps would have, well, nothing. And as insigificant as Division titles may seem, I think it’s important to have something up to show what the team has accomplished in the past. Hopefully some day they can take down the less significant banners and replace them with more important ones.

aka Mystic’s Attendance Champion Banners. I want them to win their Division/Conference/Championship too.
"the other day on sportscenter they said something along the lines of "the capitals score so much tiger woods is jealous" haha had me laughing hard while i was eating my cereal"
Well, I take issue with those banners – those aren’t team accomplishments, their fan accomplishments. And utterly embarrassing.
Japers' Rink: Hockey blogging from the most powerful city in the world
They’re embarrassing for the fact that those seem to be the only banners people who like to rag on the Caps want to point out in the VC.
I want the place as full of banners as possible. There’s something just so intimidating for an opponent about coming into an arena and looking up and seeing all those banners above you.

i see some division banners up there in the great white north. what would be nice is if we are able to win the cup, the banner would be just as low key as these oilers banners. in other words, save some space for others. dont need some blanket sized banner like the bullets have for their title.

I agree with the basic premise that once a banner’s up, it’s up. I can understand they want uniformity, and they do look good, i’ll give them that, but I miss the old ones.

I agree and have a bigger problem with the retired numbers being converted to reflect unis those guys never wore.
Of course, my bigger problem is that they still look to me like they’re Avalanche colors and not Caps colors.

In there defense, I was at the igloo a few months back, after the Pens hoisted their new banner. Its identical to the banners from 90 -91, and 91 – 92, except the pens don’t wear yellow anymore, they wear gold, so the banner looks off.
Well, I mean, off compared to matching banners. I’d take 3 banners that don’t match over “attendance champions” anyday.

"Then in the third period they got the two goals to tie it up. Then the fifth and sixth goals were some of the most horrendous things that ever happened to me."

I watched the highlights on NHL.com because I was curious. The 6th goal was absolutely brutal, but I didn’t think the 5th goal was that terrible. Pavelski was all alone in front. Still, Ellis did not look good at all.
Side note: It looks like the highlights on NHL.com now show the replays of goals. It’s about freaking time. Showing only the live angle is almost completely useless for most NHL goals, especially when watching on a computer and not on TV.
