  • Non-Asham/Beagle news from yesterday:

    • Michal Neuvirth is getting better and expected to practice today. [CW (Whyno), CI (Applebaum)]

  • And onto GoToSleepgate fallout:
    • First and foremost, Beagle’s showing no concussion symptoms, so that’s great news. [WaPo (Carrera), CW (Whyno), SB Nation DC (Vingan)]
    • Asham apologized… [CI (Carrera)]
    • … said, “He started it!”… [CI (Applebaum)]
    • … called Alex Ovechkin a hypocrite (because apparently celebrating a goal and inflicting a traumatic head injury upon an opponent are indistinguishable)… [CW (Whyno), CI (Carrera), CSNW (Gormley), PHT]
    • … and won’t be punished further by the League. [CW (Whyno)]
    • Plenty of interesting takes on the incident and aftermath (you really should read these). [TSN (McKenzie), Backhand Shelf, THN (Campbell), Deadspin, DC Sports Bog, SI.com (Hackel), FanPost, Toronto Star (Cox)]

  • The Caps aren’t closing (and coffee’s for closers only). [KOL]
  • Bruce Boudreau did his now-weekly spot on LaVar and Dukes yesterday. [106.7 The Fan (audio)]
  • Five things we know after week one… [Sick, Unbelievable]
  • … and five things we don’t. [Sick, Unbelievable]
  • Personally, I’d take losing pretty over winning ugly right now, but to each his own. [Box Seats (Cooper)]
  • The boys sure do clean up nice. [Capitol File Magazine here and here)]
  • Wild night in Norfolk – Bears win 7-5. [Patriot-News (Leone)]
  • Evgeny Kuznetsov is D.C.’s top prospect who isn’t a douche. [DC Pro Sports Report]
