Your savory breakfast links:
- Previews of tonight's rather large game against the Kitties from Vogs, NHL.com, WaPo (and more), SB Nation DC, Peerless, RMNB and CRtC, and be sure to check out our SB Nation partner Litter Box Cats for more coverage from the other side of tonight's match-up.
- Notes and assorted whatnot from yesterday out at Kettler:
- In general. [Caps365 video (Hunter, Halpern, Aucoin, Schultz, Ovechkin), WaPo, WashTimes, 106.7 The Fan]
- Readying for a Laich-less life. [Dump 'n Chase, NHL.com, WashTimes, WaPo]
- Mike Green has gone three days without skating, which could indicate a setback in his recovery... or not. [WashTimes]
- Dmitry Orlov is ok, though, so there's that little bit o' good news. [WashTimes]
- That which doesn't kill you makes you stronger. Of course, that which does kill you, kills you... [NHL.com, CSNW, Sick Unbelievable]
- ... and that which makes you stronger likely doesn't make you strong enough. [WaPo]
- A little secondary scoring would be nice. Oh, and so would a little primary scoring. [CSNW]
- Buy or sell: by the sell/buy-by deadline, the Caps will bid bye-bye and sell rather than buy? [We Love DC]
- Ruminatin' with a cold one. [Peerless]
- "It seemed like [the Bruins] knew every single thing that the Caps were going to do before the Caps knew what they were going to do." Alan May had his weekly chat with the Sports Reporters. [ESPN 980 (audio)]
- John Carlson and Karl Alzner give you a glimpse of what life is like for a couple of roomies on a roadie. [Caps365 (video)]
- The Verizon Center tops a list of NHL arenas in overall fan experience (but it sure would be nice to see what that experience is like in, say, late-May). [Stadium Journey]
- Ovi and a red dragon? Ovi and a red dragon. [Alex Ovetjkin]
- Time for the captain to captain... [Sick, Unbelievable]
- ... and for the fans to support the boys. [Capital Spirit, RMNB]
- The NHL chapter of Tomas Vokoun's NHL career started some 15 years ago. Pull up a chair and read the tale. [WTOP]
- Czech, please! (Groan.) [CSNW (video)]
- Really sweet tool from our good friend Nate Ewell and company over at College Hockey Inc. that will remind you, for example, that two of tonight's combatants, Mike Knuble and John Madden, were once teammates. [Backhand Shelf]
- Finally, happy 40th birthday to John Slaney and a very happy 44th to the franchise's all-time leader in goals and points (among other things), Peter Bondra (and for a tribute to Bonzai, check out this FanPost from last year).
