Your savory breakfast links:
- If you missed it after normal business hours yesterday, we’ve posted a translation of a rather lengthy Slava Malamud piece on Alex Ovechkin. Take a few minutes and give it a read. [Japers’ Rink]
- On the day he formally acquires the Washington Wizards and the Verizon Center and delivers a monumental address, Ted Leonsis pens an open letter to Caps fans.
- We’d mentioned before that Damien Cox and Gare Joyce had been working on a book on Ovechkin. Turns out it is due to hit shelves in September (available for pre-order now) and contains the word “dangerous” in the title. Should be interesting. [Amazon]
- The Caps open with the third-best odds to win next year’s Cup. [D.C. Sports Bog]
- Eric Belanger did his part to make the 2010 NHL Playoffs great. Well, sorta. [FanHouse]
- Should the Caps be looking to acquire an enforcer? [RtR]
- It’s good to see happy-go-lucky Ovi again… but maybe we didn’t need to see this much of him. [Alex Ovetjkin]
- Before there was Ovechkin, there was Peter Bondra. [SBNDC]
- Andrew Gordon checks in after Game 4. [RMNB]
- Dale Hunter‘s gotta be proud of what his former London Knights did on Wednesday night. [London Free Press]
- The South Carolina Stingrays’ 2010-11 schedule is out. Y’know, FYI. [Stingrays]
- On this date back in 1998, the Caps got Tik’d. [WaPo (and thank goodness blogs didn’t exist then, eh?)]
- Finally, happy 41st birthday to Kip Miller.
