Your savory breakfast links:

  • Notes and pictures from Day Five/Scrimmage/Fan Fest. [Dump 'n' Chase, Caps Outsider (and again), Hockey Shopped, RMNB, Madison Bowey blog, Riley Barber blog]
  • Just before camp began, Caps first-rounder Andre Burakovsky granted a don't-miss interview to Swedish outlet Expressen.

[Expressen.se, via GoogleSvensk]

  • Say, Tom Wilson, where are you going with that armload of Troy Brouwer's twigs? [WaPo]
  • Defenseman Jaynen Rissling is turning 20 soon and therefore isn't required to return to the WHL Calgary Hitmen in the fall... but he probably will. [RMNB]
