Your savory breakfast links:

  • Three things we were talking about yesterday when we were talking about the Caps. [Rink]
  • Recaps and other assorted musings on last night’s loss from us (QuickCap, Morning After), Vogs, Caps video (Carbery, Wilson, Strome, Lindgren), Rangers, NHL, AP, Reuters, WaPo, THN, NY Post, SNY, NoVa Caps, RMNB, and BSB.
  • The Caps could concern themselves with how they approach Matt Rempe…or they could just ignore him and not feed into this bizarre mythology surrounding the kid. [WaPo]
  • The Rangers are being led by a coach the Capitals know very well. [ESPN]
  • No team has been hit harder than the Capitals, but there has been a rash of blueliner injuries around the NHL to start the postseason. [AP]
  • Speaking of which, with Vincent Iorio the latest to go on the shelf, the Caps sent for reinforcements (again), bringing Hardy Häman Aktell back to join the squad. [Caps]
  • Finally, happy 64th birthday to Darren Veitch, and happy 53rd to Ken Klee (go PWHL Minnesota!)
