What I don't understand is why a lot of people are saying that the Caps should be/are favored to win this series.

Couldn't agree more. The pundits seem to make their predictions based on regular season anyway. Vegas had more points than Caps in the regular season, they beat Caps both times during the regular season, their main goalie beat Caps more than once in play-offs.
End of story. We are the underdog and the whole world outside of Nevada should root for us.

Outside of Nevada and Western PA. If folks in Pittsburg start supporting us for the duration of this series... well... that will make me feel creepy.

Since I am effectively anti-KitFisto I will chime in like this... Beating Pittsburg and their extraordinary for-check made us immune to whatever any team in this league can throw at us from their for-checking department.
12 out of 14 NHL analysts predicted Tampa's victory and the only reason the series went to game 7 is because of their excellent power play. We know how to counter aggressive for-checking and generate odd man rushes.
There, I said it. If we lose to Vegas I jinxed it.

this is the Vegas Strong program that was on after game 7 a few days ago. Like I said, it would have me cheering for them to win if not for the Caps...

Ya man, this is movie/storybook shit.
Shooting, first pro team, an insane fan base, record setting, march through the playoffs . . . This is damn near a Hollywood script.
