Tuesday Caps Clips

Your savory breakfast of champions links:

• The Cup made its way to Germany yesterday to hang out with former (ugh) Caps netminder Philipp Grubauer, who looked quite dashing in his lederhosen. [RMNB]

• And Stanley will head to Ohio in a few weeks for Mitch Korn’s day with the Cup. (Take a gander, Jackets fans - this may be as close as it ever gets.) [Journal-News, @MiamiOH_Hockey]
• If you’re the type who’s into national television schedules, Monday was your Christmas in August. [NHL.com, Kukla’s, The Score, USAToday, RMNB]
• Chandler Stephenson: center or wing? [NBCSNW]
• John Carlson is one of the NHL’s top-20 defensemen (so says NHL Network)... but where, exactly does he rank? [@NHLNetwork]
• Speaking of blueliners, how about Matt Niskanen’s shot-blocking gear? [Rink]
• Remember when the Caps were really good but didn’t win the Cup? Me too (vaguely). [PHT]
• Is it me or is a bucket with the Caps’ championship logo on it about half a step removed from a Caps toilet seat (which, tbh, I’d buy)? [RMNB]
• How about some fantasy puck rankings? [ESPN]
• Okay, one more of Grubi...

• I lied. Last one:
