Short Links/Hockey Brawl Of The Week

Because we are not above "little people" puns here at Hangar 39, we have the late, great Joe C. Kid Rock got about 90 percent less cool when he lost the man that was "3 foot 9 with a 10 foot dick." Today we don't have a lot from Ravens or Orioles world but plenty from Planet Caps. So let's get on with the show.

- The Schmucker on the O's looking into signing Pedro Martinez, who hopefully will bring his little Dominican friend with him.


- The Sun with an interesting story about Ravens owner Steve Bisciotti and his buddy, Maryland hoops coach Gary Williams.

- Caps winger Donald Brashear is still a little shaken up following his KO at the hands of Nashville enforcer Wade Belak and could miss tonight's tilt with the Philadelphia Flyers.

- More from Tank and Brash, this time on fighting.

- Japer's with some nice work on Eric Fehr's contributions to the Caps this year and Brian Pothier's attempt to comeback after missing almost two years with concussion issues.

- For those in the Hershey, Pa area, the Stanley Cup and the American Hockey League's top trophy, the Calder Cup, will be on display. (Per On Frozen Blog)

- From the Philly side of things, Caps Public Enemy #1B will likely play tonight. That's right, Danny Briere and his emo bangs will be on the ice. No word if Panic At The Disco is doing his entrance music.

"Hey guys, is this where I can pick up my Jimmy Eat World tickets?"

YOUR HOCKEY BRAWL OF THE WEEK
In honor of tonight's Caps-Flyers rivalry game, I present this line brawl from the early 90s between these two clubs. Observe Officer Don Koharski taking notes while all five guys plus the goalies go at it. Way to go Officer Koharski!

Morning links...

Hello dear Hangar 39 readers, what there are of you. For those of you who may be new to this here site, just know that this is where the magic happens...

...Anyway, here are some links from the world of Capitals hockey, Ravens football, Orioles baseball and a few from the world of pop culture. I will be back later with photos and a full report from today's Caps-Penguins tilt.

- Sidney Crosby. Still whining.


-Hoo-Rah! Alex Ovechkin will be back in the lineup this afternoon.

-Tom Boswell on the Caps recent three-game losing skid.

- Ovie has officially made it. He now has his own Easterns Motors commercial.

- The Orioles split this weekend's spring training games, beating the Nationals 6-2 and losing to the Marlins 3-2 in 10 innings. The O's will face the Minnesota Twins today at 1:05 pm.

- Another nice article about Matt Wieters from the Schmucker. Damn I can't wait for this kid to come to Baltimore. Judging by his hitting this spring, he's making it harder and harder for them to send him to Norfolk to start the season.

- Looks like Manny Acta and the Washington Nationals coaching staff is learning the same things about Daniel Cabrera that O's fans got to know and loathe over the past five years.

- Now that Ray Lewis' situation has been taken care of, the next long-time Raven without a contract is kicker Matt Stover. At first it appeared the Ravens weren't going to bring him back but Ozzie Newsome says they could bring him back. David Steele says the team should bring him back and I agree. Let Stove come back on a one or two-year deal. He's still just about automatic within 45 yards, he's a good guy and the fans love him.

- After signing Domonique Foxworth, Ray Lew and Matt Birk, Ozzie says the Ravens aren't done adding players yet.

- Nice work from The Sun's Rick Maese on Ravens guard Chris Chester and his preparations for life after football.

Non-Sporting Links:

-Please welcome a good buddy of Hangar 39's to the blog-o-sphere, Big Cat Chris Bartlett and his new blog, Quantum Mechanics of Bloomfield.

-Coolio is busted for crack cocaine. I have no words.

- From the Icon, just what the world needs - 1) another remake and 2) another WWE Film. I suppose we're just stopping trying to think of our own ideas. Can't some of these people just buy a Robert McKee or Syd Field book and at least pretend to think of a new idea.

- Finally, today's YouTube clip to swing your heavy metal hair to is...there is no clip because YouTube is being a little bitch this morning.
