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...)

You nailed it. It's been obvious for a couple years since Carlin came on that Alan May would love to pop him and has very often berated him, teased and insulted him on air. I get the sense they have become a little more friendly and Alan now tolerates him a little more. but still gets annoyed with him.

--- Quote from: newtoCapsparty on Monday May 28, 2018, 11:59:50 PM Eastern ---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.

I think they have for some reason an anti-Capitals bias. It's worse when they are calling games against their lover boy Pens or Rags. It appears to pain them to have to say good things about the Caps.
