VIDEO: Pittsburgh Broadcasters Totally Called James Neal’s Overtime Winner

It's about three and a half minutes into the second overtime period of Game 4 of the first round NHL playoff series between the Tampa Bay Lightning and Pittsburgh Penguins, and Pens' TV color analyst Bob Errey is going off about how James Neal hasn't really scored lately. But if he just buries one soon, Errey says, it'll all be forgotten.

ERREY: You just need one and Neal and everybody else will forget the last 21 games where he hasn’t really gotten on the board too much.

PAUL STEIGERWALD: There it is! He scooooooooresssssss! James Neal saved it for overtime!

Too perfect. Video after the jump.

Really, it was a pretty weak goal. There's no reason why Neal or anybody should be scoring from that angle, and after the type of incredible game that Dwayne Roloson had in Game 4, it's clearly disappointing to lose it that way.

In more pressing news, though, this set up is just too perfect. Let’s search the ROOT Sports studios in Pittsburgh for a Delorean, shall we?
