- A reality check on Marcus Johansson (and the Caps’ other kids) and expectations (featuring a MoJo/Wayne Gretzky comparison). [El-Bashir]

- As for the fight that wasn’t, Pierre-Luc Letourneau-Leblond got part of what’s coming to him when the League suspended him for one game. (He’ll get the rest of it, presumably, when D.J. King next takes the ice at the same time as PL3.) [CI]
