1 win away huh? Toughest game is still to go. Time to show some sack and killer instinct. Screw the "weather the storm" mentality in game 5 because Vegas is desperate. Make your own storm and bury them early!
BlackIce:
Just back from the game.
It looked like, finally, in this game, Vegas suffered from not having a true shut-down defensive pair. Their coverage was pretty spotty, and the entire game they had no defensive answer for Kuznetsov. Team defense is fine, but when a team can work the puck around like the Caps are doing now, you really have to have a strong blueline. For all DC likes to claim that Schmidt is better than anyone we have on the blueline, that just isn't so. I think he would have been a great partner for Carlson this season, but alas, that's water under the bridge. Heck, if we could have kept Schmidt to pair with Carlson, we might have had a chance at the Cup!
oops .......

Watched 1st period, Vegas was very strong first 10 min, we had a luck they didn't score!

While this feels awesome. It is not over. The toughest game of the season coming up. The chance to truly slay the choker demon.

Oh what the hell ever. Carlson IS JUST A FOURTH FORWAD THAT CAN SKATE BACKWARD. Who FINALLY in his overrated career hasn’t lost us games and showed up. He shouldn’t even be listed as a defenseman, I don’t care what is “trendy these days”
Schioth is on their shutdown line because he actually plays defense, Carlson is on powerplays and not routinely against top scorers
So let me know when Carlson breaks up a two on one against two of the hottest scoress in the playoffs in a lost game
Until ten that bullshit you like like claim, “just isn’t so”. It’s just homer fandom lacking proper analysis, or just an attempt to agitate me.
