Your savory breakfast links:
- Previews of tonight’s meeting with the male monarchs from Vogs (with a bit more here), NHL.com, Peerless, RMNB, hockey yelling and Sick Unbelievable, and be sure to check out our SB Nation partner Jewels From The Crown for more coverage from the other side of tonight’s match-up.
- Notes and assorted whatnot from yesterday’s practice way out west:
- In general. [Caps365 video (Hunter)]
- Neither Nicklas Backstrom nor Mike Green skated. On a scale of one to ten, that really sucks. [WaPo]
- A look at the week that was. [Peerless, KOL]
- Saturday night in San Jose was a familiar story for the Caps on the road this season, one of snow-balling mistakes. [WashTimes, WaPo]
- Also from Saturday night, Alex Ovechkin standing up for a teammate may not have worked out for the team within the context of the game, but could have longer-standing implications. [WashTimes, WaPo, CSNW, with some discussion on the incident in this FanPost]
- The Southeast Division isn’t exactly going according to plan; hopefully it corrects itself in the second half of the season. [Puck Daddy]
- What to do with fifty-two? [KOL, Capitals Outsider]
- LEGOvechkin is pretty awesome. [Capitals Outsider]
- Mark another win in the books for the Bears. [Patriot-News, SHoE]
- Evgeny Kuznetsov isn’t impressed with the Swedes… well, their celebrating, at least. [RMNB, with more on Kuznetsov at the CAPS lock]
- Finally, happy fifty-bleepin’-seventh birthday to Bruce Boudreau – may your whale be Fudgie (and for more on how Boudreau’s new gig is working out, hit up the WashTimes).
