Your savory breakfast links:
- Recaps of last night’s loss from us, Vogs, Monumental video (Trotz, Kuznetsov, Williams, Burakovsky, Grubauer) , NHL.com, AP, WaPo, CSNMA (gamer, rewind), Peerless, Frankovic, DSP, S&S, NVC, Friends in Cold Places, RMNB, and from the visitors’ bench, Defending Big D and Dallas Morning News.
- Notes and assorted whatnot from the morning skate:
- In general. [Dump-n-Chase, Monumental video (Trotz, Holtby, Rinkside Update/Chorney, Two-Man Advantage), FICP, NVC]
- Look for Brooks Orpik to return to duty sometime next week, probably. [CSNMA, RMNB]
- Whither Michael Latta? [NVC]
- Michael Russo is the Minny Wild beat writer for the Minneapolis Star-Tribune. He spent quite a bit of time with the Caps on their visit and promised us lots of stories. Here’s his piece on Alex Ovechkin. [Strib]
- Buying or selling? Reviewing the League’s top teams and their chances to raise Lord Stanley. [B/R]
- This I’m-from-Baltimore-so-not-a-Caps-fan took his family to a Hershey Bears game, and had a great time. [Splice Sports]
- Finally, happy 49th birthday to Calle Johansson, happy 41st to Viktor Kozlov, and Happy Valentine’s Day to all! XOXO.
