## Resource

So much for that 16-0 talk for the Carolina Hurricanes. As opposed to taking advantage of a Canadiens team that has endured consecutive seven-game series, it was the Habs with more jump as the 'Canes struggled to find their legs until it was too late in the opener of the Eastern Conference Final. Vic and Neil break it down and also look ahead to the Game 2 in the West where the Colorado Avalanche face a similar dilemma after dropping the home opener to the Vegas Golden Knights.
