Your savory breakfast links:
- With a 6-3 win last night, the Bears are back in the Calder Cup Finals, now trailing two games to one. [Leone, Vogs, Frankovic, Flounders, Peerless, RMNB, Defending Big D]
- If you liked watching the Bears on CSN and want to do it more often during next regular season, let CSN know by signing a petition. [Live In Red]

- If Anton Volchenkov is off the wishlist, who’s left? [RtR]
- Would the Caps match an offer sheet for $2.75 – $3.1 million for Jeff Schultz? What if a $1.5 million offer sheet for Eric Fehr was signed at the same time? [Copper n’ Blue]

- Another three things the Caps could learn from the Flyers and ‘Hawks. [Maryland Pro Sports]
- SI.com’s list of the ten greatest moments in D.C. sports history was a mess, but they’ve since cleaned it up (including deleting their only Caps entry, which didn’t happen in D.C. anyway). [D.C. Sports Bog]
- Bryan Helmer chose Hershey over other options that might have ended with him returning to the NHL. That says a lot. [Masisak]
