Your savory breakfast links:
- Recaps and other assorted musings from yesterday’s Game 1 loss to the New York Rangers from us (QuickCap, Morning After), Vogs, WaPo ($), NHL, (and again), AP (and again), FLM, Rangers, Athletic ($), Caps video (recap, Coach Carbery, Fehervary, Wilson, Carlson, Lindgren), THN (and again), NoVa Caps, RMNB, S+S, and Blueshirt Banter.
- The Washington Capitals know they don’t have a lot of room for this error in this Round 1 series, and the rest of the games will have to go better than yesterday’s. [WaPo ($)]
- Charlie Lindgren put in all kinds of hard work this season, and it resulted in him being one of Washington’s MVPs. [WaPo ($)]
- If you like a heavy dose of analytics in your series previews, this Caps-Rangers is the one for you. [NoVa Caps]
- A certain rookie could be the Caps’ secret weapon in this series with the Rangers (hint: he shares a name with a famous guitarist). [S+S]
- Finally, happy 29th birthday to Madison Bowey, 63rd birthday to Bob Mason, 80th birthday to Bob Paradise, and 30th birthday to Chandler Stephenson, and raise a glass to Peter Zezel, who would have turned 59 today.
