Thursday Caps Clips

Your savory breakfast links:

• Boyd Gordon's hope for 2010-11 is that the nagging injury that plagued him last season won't be back. [Masisak]
• Bruce Boudreau sticks with a variation of "we ran into a hot goalie"... [NHL.com]
• ... and isn't too keen on "hybrid icing." [NHL.com]
• Washington, D.C.: Hockey Hotbed. [FanHouse]
• Willie Mitchell non-update update... [CI]
• ... and another "he'd be a great fit here" post. [Ravings of a Rink Rebel]
• You knew the Young Guns would rate highly on fantasy draft boards (how about all in the top 12?), but guess who's fifth and where he ranks. [ESPN]
• Where in the world is Karl Alzner? [Overtime w/ Bill Rohland]
• Be wary, Penguins... Caps fans are everywhere. [Alex Ovetjkin]
• Is it more appropriate to discuss "top nine" than "top six" forwards? It certainly is in D.C. [Copper & Blue]
• "Brendan Morrison just turned 35. He has a lot of hockey left in him. He does not need to go to Europe to play." Alrighty then. [Vancouver Sun]
  
• Catching up with Development Camp invitee Cameron Burt. [Love the Game]
• Finally, happy 45th birthday to David (A.) Jensen, former member of the "Diaper Line," whom the Caps acquired from Hartford in exchange for current assistant coach Dean Evason and Peter Sidorkiewicz.
