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]

Finally, happy 36th birthday (and hopefully sweep day) to Semyon Varlamov, happy 31st to Tyler Graovac, and happy 37th to Taylor Chorney!
