Tuesday Caps Clips: Looking Ahead to the Playoffs and Awards

Your savory breakfast links:

• The Caps are "true Stanley Cup contenders" and Mike Green thinks this is the best Caps team he's been on. Buy or sell on those two assertions? [ESPN ($), PHT, The Score]
• Twenty coaches were surveyed and they all picked Carey Price as their MVP with Alex Ovechkin finishing second on 19 ballots. They also picked the Caps as the East's third-best team. [TSN, Puck Daddy]
• Hockey teams ranked by power. [The Score, ESPN, The Hockey News]
• So how about that road trip? [WaPo]
• Tom Wilson spent the night in Detroit but flew back to town yesterday and will be "further re-evaluated" today. [WaPo, CSNW]
• Braden Holtby is having a special season, in case you hadn't noticed... [WaPo]
• ... but maybe give him a rest one of these days? Nah. [CSNW]
• Then again, he didn't even make the best save by a Cap on Sunday. [RMNB]
• Pick your playoff poison... [CSNW]
• ... but it looks far more likely than not that it'll be the Islanders. [hockeystats.ca]
• "Why the Caps are a nightmare playoff matchup." Wait, what? [THN]
  
• The latest from up the road in Hershey. [Patriot-News and again]
• Come on out on Saturday and get smart(er). [#DCHAC]
• Finally (and thankfully)...

Just wanted to let everyone know that I am okay and I am very grateful for all the kind words and wishes. Feels good to be playoff bound!!
