WASHINGTON (WUSA9)-- Can we agree that no on can do Vegas quite like Vegas can?
The pregame show for Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Final. was nothing short of a production that was up there with something you would see at a Cirque du Soleil performance.
From the very beginning of the show that started with a mock battle of the knights, it was so bad, that it was good.
How many other NHL teams can say that they had performers flying in from rafters to make an entrance during the finals?
For teams everywhere, Vegas has definitely set a new standard.
As if the knight performance wasn't enough, what better way to get the crowd ready for the game than to have Michael Buffer who is also known for saying, " Let's get ready to rumble!" start the game?
This was truly something that most hockey fans were probably tired of watching two minutes in.
But it's Vegas and you really can't expect anything less right?
If you want to watch the pregame show that had everyone asking themselves, "What am I watching?", you can see the full show here:
Meanwhile, at Capital One Arena where over 12,000 Caps fans gathered, they decided they didn't need the Vegas hoopla.
