Your savory breakfast links:
- Get to know some more of the Canadiens we’ll be seeing a lot of over the next four to seven games. [Rink (Hutson, Anderson, Newhook)]
- Yesterday we had all kinds of playoff previews and predictions for you…are you ready for more? Of course you are! [NoVa Caps, Caps Outsider, THN, THW, SCoC]
- Everyone is ready for the clean slate of the playoffs to engage BEAST MODE. [DC News Now, RMNB]
- Whatever happened in the regular season doesn’t matter anymore, and the Caps are not about to take Montreal lightly. [RDS]
- According to one dude in Montreal, the Caps are mediocre and claims the stats bear that out (except…they don’t?) [RDS]
- Naturally, the Habs will be looking for a similar upset to the one 15 whole years ago, which makes sense, since that will mean they’ve won the series. [THN]
- Three Capitals to watch in this series. [S&S]
- PLD could cause some pain for the Habs in this series. Hell yeah. [Dose]
- As rough as the end of the season was for the Caps, anyone claiming that the rest of their success was somehow a mirage (ahem, RDS) and they’re actually bad? Is incorrect. [RMNB]
- Checking in with the team after their first full playoff practice yesterday. [Vogs, Caps video (Carbery, Ovechkin, Strome, Wilson, PLD, Caps365)]
- Sounds like Logan Thompson is very close and could be ready for Game 1, which is great news! [NHL]
- Less than good news on the blueline, as it seems like Martin Fehervary may be out for a bit, and the Caps have recalled Ethan Bear to fill in. [Caps]
- The South Carolina Stingrays, Washington’s ECHL affiliate, are off to a strong start in their hunt for the Kelly Cup, defeating Orlando in OT to take a 2-0 series lead. [Stingrays]
- Finally, happy 75th birthday to Mike Lampman, happy 41st to Jamie Hunt, and happy 33rd to Big Mac himself, Dylan McIlrath!
