Your savory breakfast links:

  • Recapping the final round-robin games of the 4 Nations Face-Off:
    • Canada took a big lead and then almost let it slip away before hanging on for the victory over Finland. [NHL]
    • An injury-riddled Team USA fell to Sweden, 2-1. [NHL]
  • That second one doesn’t really matter (at least in terms of earning a space in the final) because we are set for a USA-Canada rematch in the championship game Thursday night. [NHL]
  • The Caps announced they will be unveiling a plaque at the famous fountain where many of the players splashed around with fans during the Stanley Cup celebrations back in 2018. Iconic. [Caps]
  • Some thoughts on the Caps as they prepare for the stretch run of the season. [THN]
  • He is less than 20 goals away from Wayne Gretzky’s record, but Alex Ovechkin is staying composed. [SI]
  • Because the world isn’t bleak enough (and because the trade deadline approaches) why not take a stroll down memory lane and remember the five worst trades in Caps history? [S&S]
  • Will there be new award winners, from the Cup on down, at the end of the 2024-25 season? [THN]
  • Finally, happy 27th birthday to Taylor Raddysh!
