Great win. Excellent game from Holtby and great save to secure the win. Watching the replay, though, the puck came out of the corner and practically passed through the crease. As active as he'd been all night, I'm surprised he didn't just gobble that up and hold it for a faceoff. He actually appeared to jump back on the play. Just thought it was strange but glad he saved the day there.

Good observation about the disconnect between the Vegas team we watch vs. glowing media descriptions of the same team. I've been surprised, too, by cheap shots guys are taking 6 inches from a referee. And before Game 1, I expected to feel somewhat good that the Caps were playing a good (fair) team and not a bunch of thugs who liked to instigate fights.
Hits home the idea that it's risky to let some other group, e.g., sports writers, tell you what something is or isn't when you haven't seen it for yourself! Go Caps!

Have you not watched a Hens game? They’re worse with worse calls in their exhibition games let alone a SCF.
Everyone needs to man-up and quit crying about refs and the other team being mean. We know the NHL officials are a joke, and that we are playing a team that may want the Cup more than we do.

DC, I have to call baloney on that. After watching the Caps hang on in last night's game after Kuzy went out, to say that Vegas has more desire than we do is a comment that cannot stand unchallenged.
waynerivers:
The refs suck and the league obviously wants the Vegas fairytale to reach its culmination in a cup win. What the Caps have to do now is not let up a bit at home. If we keep mashing them physically and put lots of pucks on Fleury, they can be beaten. And don't take any crap from Reaves, Tuch and a few of their other dirtbags.

How do you measure a teams desire? By calling themselves misfits and cast outs? Or by believing in somekind of manifest destiny because of the way their season started? Nights believe both of those.
