Your savory breakfast links:
- Our own Jason Rogers was on Edmonton radio pregame. [Rink]
- Recaps and other assorted musings on last night's loss from us, Vogs, Monumental video (Trotz, Caps room)], NHL.com, AP, CP, WaPo, Peerless, CSNMA, RMNB, NoVa Caps, Stars & Sticks, Sun Media, Oilers Nation, and Copper and Blue.
- Late in the second period there was a ruckus in front of the Oiler net, with TJ Oshie on the wrong end of Cam Talbot’s blocker and possible stomp-attempt. Matching roughing penalties were doled out, but should Talbot have been tossed from the game? [RMNB]
- News and notes from pregame:
- In general. [Monumental video (Trotz, locker room, Ovechkin, Alzner, Rinkside Update/Carlson), Dump 'n Chase]
- The top two forward lines got a new look with a swap of right wings. [WashTimes]
- The Caps are looking to this road trip to establish their identity... [WaPo]
- ... and looking forward to their visit to the Oilers’ new arena. [WaPo]
- Then there was this:
