Your savory breakfast links:

Recaps and other assorted musings on last night’s loss from us (QuickCap, Morning After), Vogs, Caps video (Carbery, Ovechkin, Carlson, Dowd), Rangers, NHL, AP, Reuters, Sportsnet, WaPo, LoHud, NY Post, SNY, THN, NoVa Caps, RMNB, and Caps Outsider.
Matt Rempe did his usual big-untalented-oaf-trying-to-injure-people shtick, taking out Trevor van Riemsdyk with a hit that amazingly only earned him a minor penalty. NHL refs, folks. [THN]

Gross.

The Caps are one of three Eastern Conference teams facing down a potential sweep in the first round. [USA Today]
With potential elimination looming, the Caps are vowing to “give it their all” in Game 4 which uh…we’d hope they were already doing but okay. [NHL]
Finally, happy 36th birthday (and hopefully sweep day) to Semyon Varlamov, happy 31st to Tyler Graovac, and happy 37th to Taylor Chorney!
