Wednesday Caps Clips: Coyote Ugly Win

Your savory breakfast links:

  • Recaps and other assorted musings on last night’s overtime win from us (QuickCap, Recap), Vogs, Monumental video (Trotz, Beagle, Holtby, Honest Abe Wilson), NHL.com, AP, WaPo (gamer, blog), Arizona Republic, Frankovic, BrooksLaichyear, RMNB, GM on a Couch, and Five for Howling.
  • Once an area of weakness for the Caps, their prospect pipeline is now chock full of up-and-coming blueliners. [HF]
  • News and notes from yesterday’s pre-game skate in the desert:
    • In general. [Monumental video (Trotz, Chimera, Rinkside Update/Brown), Dump ‘n Chase]
    • Barry Trotz shuffled his lines again prior to last night’s game, giving Evgeny Kuznetsov a bit more talent on his wings. [WaPo]
    • Mistakes are a part of hockey, but lately the Caps have been making mistakes that are costing them goals-against – and games. [WaPo]
    • Brooks Orpik talks about how he measures success against the League’s best offensive players – and that it’s not just about shots taken. [NBC4]
  • Mike Green doesn’t get enough respect. Obvious to all of us? Yes. Worth repeating and explaining in more detail? Always. [RMNB]
  • The Caps have one of the best – and one of the worst – puck-movers in the League right now. Bet you’ll be able to guess one more easily than the other. [PDL]
  • Keith Jones talks about the suddenly oft-injured Brooks Laich and his future with the Caps. [CSNW]
  • Enough with the excuses, enough with the laziness – just play better! [THW]
  • Since the start of camp, the story has been about the changing culture for the Caps… but is that possible without changing players? [CSNW]
  • Bye bye, dry scrape. Sportswriters on deadlines rejoice. Well, maybe not the sportswriters who were covering last night’s game… [NHL.com]
  • Finally, happy 53rd birthday to Grant Ledyard, and happy 41st to Dean Melanson.
