Your savory breakfast links:
On the Nicklas Backstrom match penalty, automatic one-game suspension and subsequent hearing:
Suspension: upheld. [Japers’ Rink , Puck Daddy , Dump ‘n Chase , WaPo , WashTimes , DCEx , CSNW , 106.7 The Fan , BHerald , SB Nation DC , RMNB , DSP , Capital Games , RtR , Sick Unbelievable ]
Not that it matters much now, but in defense of the accused, his coach (who goes on the offensive)… [Caps365 (video), Puck Daddy , WaPo , WashTimes , DCEx , 106.7 The Fan , NHL.com , AP ]
… and assorted media. [Alan May via Japers’ Rink , WaPo ]
And for the prosecution. [WaPo , WashTimes , CSNNE , NESN ]
Then there are those not taking sides, but just sayin’, know what I’m sayin’? [CSNNE , BS , BS ]
Now what? [CSNW (video), DCEx ]
Regardless of where you stand on the Backstrom hit, I think we can all agree that the Caps lost their composure a bit down the stretch in Game 3. [Ted’s Take , Japers’ Rink , KOL , RtR , NESN ]
Yep, things have escalated quickly. [WaPo , WashTimes ]
“Teh Capz r durrty like there coach!!1!” Least-surprising article of the day. [BHerald ]
Taking a closer look at the goat rodeo that was Boston’s second goal in Game 3. [BS ]
Braden Holtby is no longer impregnable. Panic time? [DCEx , Sick Unbelievable ]
Not much outrage over this blown call (though we’ll sit and wait for the League’s apology ). [Sportsnet ]
Speaking of officiating, why didn’t Karl Alzner get tagged with a third-man in for his part in that [awesome term alert] “three-way hate triangle”? [TSN ]
And speaking of Alzner, he apologized to Brad Marchand for… something. Because he’s one of the last good ones. [ESPN Boston , NESN ]
Babygate! [WaPo , Capital Games , RMNB , Deadspin , CSNNE , NESN (with an even sillier post here )]
Last Alzner note: like their respective head coaches , Alzner and Milan Lucic were once teammates. Small world. [NHL.com ]
The Bruins won the battles in front in Game 3 and that was that. [CSNNE (with more on Boston stepping up at WaPo )]
Dennis Seidenberg is digging his smash-’em-up matchup with Alex Ovechkin. Freak. [NHL.com , ESPN Boston , SB Nation DC (GIF)]
The B’s big guy came up big in Game 3. [CSNNE ]
But where’s Tyler Seguin ? (Other than getting pooped on , that is.) [ESPN Boston , CSNNE ]
If hockey doesn’t work out for Marchand, there’s always this . [D.C. Sports Bog , Puck Daddy , Capitals Outsider ]
And c’mon, Chimmer . Even though it’s Marchand, you’ve gotta steer clear of the no-fly zone. [NESN ]
Yep, it’s a grind. [Capitals Overtime ]
The Caps are who we thought they were. [OFB ]
So maybe it’s time to turn to some deep depth. [DSP , KOL , Capitals 101 ]
And the more things change, the more they stay the same. [Fanspeak ]
Leftovers from the “Trolling Tim Thomas with Obama” party. [Grantland , RMNB , DC Sports Bog (and again )]
Maybe it’s time for the Caps to bust out the hit stick. [DC Sports Bog ]
And Gio Gonzalez is awesome. [DC Sports Bog ]
It was a multi-tasking Monday night for some D.C. sports fans. [Washingtonian ]
Oh, playoff hockey, you so crazy. [SB Nation ]
Thirty-seven years and counting. [Peerless ]
Here’s what’s happening up in Hershey. [Patriot-News ]
If you pledge my beard for Beard-A-Thon I’ll be your best friend. F’real. [Japers’ Beard ]
Finally, happy 34th birthday to Boyd Kane and happy 35th to Sebastien Charpentier .
