SB Nation 2014 NHL Preview

Your savory breakfast links:

  • A few questions and a few answers on what to expect from the Caps in 2014-15 (and be sure to check out the big, beautiful SB Nation NHL preview). [Rink]
  • A few leftovers from Sunday’s blanking of the Canadiens: [CSNW, EOTP]
    • A sore subject last season and at the beginning of camp, the Caps have been working on their penalty killing and it showed Sunday night in Montreal. [Dump ‘n Chase, WaPo]
    • Barry Trotz made the most of his first visit to Montreal as the Capitals‘ head coach, chatting about his new team and his love of Arlington. [La Presse]
  • Trotz continues to make changes to his new squad, including rearranging the seating in the locker room. [CSNW]
  • Silver medal in hand and increased responsibility on his shoulders, Nicklas Backstrom is ready to put his Olympic drama behind him and focus on the season ahead. [ESPN]
  • He may have suffered a minor (we hope) injury in training camp, but big things are expected of Mike Green this season – from his coach and from himself. [HNGN]

  • …and Steve Oleksy. [Stars and Sticks]
  • Add Brooks Laich to the list of candidates to fill that omnipresent void at second-line center. [WaPo]

  • The Caps are one of a handful of teams who are poised to take a step forward in the upcoming season. [THW]
  • Take a look at who has been cut and who has made the cut so far in training camp, and why. [BrooksLaichyear]
