Your savory breakfast links:
- Recaps and other assorted musings on yesterday’s win from the us, WaPo (blog, gamer, sports page front, blog, blog, blog, blog… awesome depth, Post), Vogs, Corey Masisak (here, here, here and here), DCEx, FanHouse, CSN Washington, Ed Frankovic, Peerless, Puck Daddy, Alex Ovetjkin, CTV, RtR, Puckhead, RMNB, FFODC, Examiner, StC, Hockey Mom, Off Wing Photo (pics) and Caps In Pictures (pics) from the winning side, and PensBurgh from the other side.
- Alex Ovechkin smashed a camera in the goal, which is apparently news. [D.C. Sports Bog, SB Nation]
- This is as good a place as any to give big kudos to WaPo photog John McDonnell for consistently great work. Here‘s his set from yesterday, including this shot of Mr. Nasty taking care of business.
- It looks like Ginga is the winner of our “Guess The Hat Trick” contest, correctly predicting the player and the game and guessing just 2:06 shy of the actual time of the first hat trick of the season. Very well done.
- Apparently there may or may not have been a minor incident between Mike Milbury and a local blogger yesterday as the media was leaving the press box and heading downstairs. To be perfectly honest, I don’t think it does the blogging community any great service by putting a camera in a guy’s face when he doesn’t want it there, but maybe that’s just me. [Gunaxin, Kukla’s Korner]
- The WaPo ran an article over the weekend that discussed “bandwagon” Caps fans, and it has generated some reaction. [Alex Ovetjkin (thanks for the really kind words), The Hockey Chronicles, The Hockey Chronicles]
- Breaking: the world wants Ovechkin vs. Crosby in the Olympics. [CBC]
- Alexandre Volchkov. Are we at the point where we can laugh yet? [RMNB]
- Fall behind to the Penguins, come back thanks to a hat trick, win game. Like parent club, like farm team. [Patriot-News, John Walton Hockey]
- A bit more on Semyon Varlamov‘s performance in that game, along with some great pics. [RMNB]
- Finally, a very happy 50th birthday to a personal favorite, Dino Ciccarelli (608 goals should get you into the Hall of Fame, btw) and happy 43rd birthday to Yvon Corriveau.
