Your savory breakfast links:

  • Head Coach Todd Reirden (still a little weird to type) beefed up his coaching staff yesterday with the addition of assistants Reid Cashman and Scott Arniel. [Caps, WaPo, NBCSNW, RMNB, NoVa Caps, FiCP]
  • Yesterday was Devante Smith-Pelly’s day with the Cup, and like most of his teammates, he did some good and had some fun with it. [RMNB, FiCP]
  • The Cup will also be making stops in Hershey and Charleston in the months ahead, as fans of the organization’s minor league affiliates (who got to see plenty of Stanley Cup Champion Washington Capitals in their formative professional hockey years) get to share in the love. [Bears, Stingrays]
  • The Caps’ farm system, like their last first-round draft pick, comes in 31st of 31 NHL teams and I feel fine. [The Athletic]
  • NHL.com revealed its ranking of the top-20 centers in the game right now and a couple of Caps made the list (and one who didn’t scored the Cup-winning goal, so, all-in-all, life’s pretty good). [NHL.com]
  • So you won the Cup - what comes next? [NoVa Caps]
  • Let’s start counting down the top-ten moments of the year, shall we? [FiCP]
  • Looking ahead, what should we be looking for at training camp? [NoVa Caps]
  • How about Shane Gersich? [NoVa Caps]
  • Ovi kayaking? Sure, why not. [RMNB]
