Wednesday Caps Clips: Singin' the Mike Green Blues

Your savory breakfast links:

• Notes and assorted whatnot from yesterday out at Kettler:
  • In general. [Monumental video (Rinkside Update, Oates, Holtby), WaPo, WashTimes, CSNW, DSP]
  • Mike Green didn't practice with the team, so his status is (optimistically) uncertain. [WaPo, WashTimes]
  • Things are going swimmingly for Eric Fehr at present. [Monumental (video), Dump 'n Chase]
  • Troy Brouwer is leading by example, which is nice... if others are following. [Monumental (video), NBC4, CSNW]
  • Three cheers for Tomas Kundratek. [WashTimes]
• Today's must-read: when doing the right thing goes wrong. [Peerless]
  
• It's time for the goalies to step up and steal some games (though it's hard to imagine a guy playing much better than Braden Holtby did in New York on Sunday night). [WaPo]
• The Caps have a good record against bad teams and a bad record against good teams. While that will help them within the Division, it's not a formula for success. [WashTimes]
• Speaking of bad formulas, how about "bad discipline" plus "bad penalty kill"? [WaPo]
• Thomas Boswell provides some drive-by insight in hindsight when it comes to the Caps and what went wrong. [WaPo]
• Radio hits from yesterday:
  • Brooks Laich on The Sports Junkies... [106.7 the Fan (audio)]
  • Matt Hendricks on The Sports Reporters... [ESPN 980 (audio)]
  • ... and Holtby on LaVar and Dukes. [106.7 the Fan (audio)]
• Colin in Great Britain asks, "Is Alexander Ovechkin still a superstar?" (Still waiting to hear from Mr. F in Wee Britain.) [The Guardian]
• And speaking of Ovi, his thoughts on being wed... to carrying the puck and to his lovely fiancé. [ESPN]
• Dmitry Orlov continues skating (yay!), but isn't ready for contact yet (opposite of yay!). [Patriot-News, with more on the Bears here]
• Is it too early to be thinking about Development Camp invitees? Maybe. [CBC (30 Thoughts)]
• A bit more "Hockey 'n Heels" coverage. [We're A Caps Family, DSP]
• OMG, the 411 on a VIP STH party, FYI. [Capitals Outsider]
• Recently retired Andrew Brunette won't soon be forgotten. [Broadcast PR Guy]
  
• Finally, happy 57th birthday to Rick Green, happy 56th birthday to Glen Hanlon, and happy 38th birthday to Brendan Witt.
