It's really simple now. Win game 2 or you aren't winning the series. Vegas is not Columbus. No way they'll lose four of five if we go down by two.

LOL Alta. That video is funny! :lol:

When laughing with friends during the pregame Vegas show/circus I was thinking, "maybe this is why the Canadians don't like the Americans in their hockey league"...
And btw...Rob Carlin bugs me...it is striking me now while watching Caps Extra that he has that talking-head/"journalist" spin on these games that has irritated the heck out of me for a long time (e.g., gushing about that stupid pregame show). Sorry if this offends, but grown men who've never actually played sports (and now make a lot of money just talking about sports) should reign it in a bit when sharing time in front of the camera with people who actually have played. Sometimes I wish Alan May would just pop him. (Okay...got all of my aggression out there...)

Seems to be that same general pattern...the other team (who ever opposes the Caps) is the team on the ice doing (all the good) things and the announcers, every once in a while, remember that there actually is another team on the ice (Caps). I thought maybe this was a pattern specific to the Pens/Caps match ups and I didn't hear it as much during the Caps/Lightning series. But my take is that NBC cannot wait to keep telling the fairy tale Vegas story, over and over, and will be disappointed if the Caps ruin that narrative and win the Cup.
