Your savory breakfast links:
- Recaps and other assorted musings on last night’s loss from us, Vogs, Caps video (Carbery, Ovechkin, Carlson, Eller), NHL, AP, Reuters, WaPo, THN, NoVa Caps, RMNB, and FlamesNation.
- It went into the books as a loss, but at least Alex Ovechkin scored a goal, putting him just 12 away from breaking the record and giving him his 19th 30-goal season. Unreal. [NHL, AP]
- The question no longer should be whether the Caps can keep up with the NHL’s best, but whether the rest of the NHL can keep up with them. [WaPo]
- Alex Ovechkin is going to go down as the greatest goal-scorer to this point – but he’s so much more than goals. [THN]
- That said…we do still care about the goals, as does the NHL, as they’ve started rejiggering the TV schedule to get more Caps’ games on national broadcasts. [Caps, Awful Announcing]
- No, the Presidents’ Trophy is not cursed, and yes, the Caps should try to win it. [RMNB]
- Finally, happy 73rd birthday to Larry Bolonchuk!
