Game 1 Carolina Hurricanes vs New York Islanders Thread Friday April 26th 7 PM.

I had the opposite take, Canes actually looked pretty good, you gotta remember the Islanders have a knack of dictating play, and they play very slow...low scoring and excellent defense. To steal one from them on home ice is huge especially after playing 90 minutes of hockey not even 48 hours earlier.  This game should be a huge boost for them.  Ready to see #19 back out there with fresh legs.

i thought the canes looked a lot more equal to the islanders than they did vs the caps. they spent so much of the first series chasing the play. this game looked like two equal teams, with outstanding goal tending on both sides.

the good thing is that if the canes were tired from game 7, and this is the worst they will look, they have a really good chance to move on, though every game will likely be close.
