Well, Caps fans are happy, but I can see where this would be disappointing for about everyone else, especially after pretty exciting first three games. Vegas got some bad breaks and finally just got frustrated, which clearly showed.
Game 5 will likely be more of the same if they start getting bad bounces. They'll come out really strong in the first period like they have all series, and they'll either score and have some wind at their back or fold entirely. I imagine these players come out really fired up at the beginning of each game, but after three shifts (and a couple of heavy hits by Wilson, Ovi, Oshie, etc.) it's probably hard to maintain that intensity.
Here's some trivia: the Caps have blown more 3 - 1 playoff leads (five) than any other major North American sports team
