As I watched, it was all about turnovers for me. We didn't respond well to the constant pressure in our defensive zone... and turned it over a lot (sidebar: even when we didn't turn it over, we weren't setting up well in the offensive zone because it was a constant fight to get it through the neutral zone).
We still played a good hockey game and scored 4 goals against a goalie everyone seems to think is Superman... but game 2, we've gotta play full-force all 200 feet of ice (realizing I'm saying this from my leather lounger with the feet up... and not the guy gonna be exhausted out there on the ice come the 3rd period...)...
We can do it, though. Let's go Caps!

The refs definitely blew the crosscheck. Especially since it resulted in a goal.

They need to play structured hockey and clog the neutral zone. Need to get pucks in deep and work the boards against a pretty average D corp of Vegas. They need to be sharp and tape to tape getting pucks out of their zones as Vegas pushes 5 in to forecheck. Play simple hockey and don't try to do too much and they will be fine. All the fancy ass shit doesn't work against a team playing north/south hockey. Just plain fucking stupid.

Agreed. If we kept trying to skate with then it’s not gonna be pretty, but will be quick

About the only right thing LittlePenis Mcquire ever said:

6-4? Really? (okay, 5-4, but still)
I thought this series was gonna take two, maybe three goals tops to win a game.
Good news is Vegas didn't look to be all that, IMO. Maybe they didn't bring their best game either, but the Caps didn't even play that well and this was a .....crap shoot :-). Caps had so many break downs and turnovers and players out of position on Vegas' goals.
I really haven't watched Vegas that much, but all they hype was they were this unbeatable force. I didn't see that last night. Vegas is scrappy and never quit, but I think the Caps should beat this team.
To me, neither team looked like a Stanley Cup finalist last night.
Like to see the good Caps show up and this could be fun. What the F is with the font size issue?
Pre-game "show" was awful. Does Vegas share the arena with Medieval Times? They should spend less time and money on this crap before the game and a little more on ice preparation. I know its the desert, but that ice was awful. You would think they would have A/C pretty much figured out by now.
Go Caps
oh yeah, FUCK YOU NBC and NHL. Wilson's hit was a LITTLE late, but how about call it like it is....NOT just show the isolation on Willy homing in on him. Marshyshit did HAVE the puck just before Willy destroyed him - but they don't show that replay but once, and in slow motion, so it appears the hit was really late, then they show the isolation about 5 fucking times.
Then you call a penalty after the fact? What the F - that is just wrong. If you miss it you miss it. Quit messing with the game.
I normally do not partake or like all the ref-bashing - It is a very hard game to officiate in real time (and I hate any and all video review), but....
How about the missed call on the Carlson cross check? Why not review that and go back and call it if you are going to review and call penalties.
They let A LOT go, and I would not have that big an issue with that non call except that it directly resulted in a goal for not only the offending team, but the very player who should have been called for the cross-check. It lead DIRECTLY to the goal. This changed the direction and outcome of the game. This non-call had direct impact on the game. That's the worst thing an officiating crew can do - is have an impact on the outcome. A missed call is one thing, but that was not missed - it was simply not called. You can't tell me they honestly did not see that. It is where the F'n puck was and directly in front of the net. That non-call led directly to that goal
Rant over.
Go Caps! Bring your A-game and you will crush these cast-off second class scrubs
