The Carolina Hurricanes took the first game in the best-of-five series against the New York Rangers on Saturday and are preparing for Game 2 on Monday.
Head coach Rod Brind’Amour was happy with the intensity his team showed, but knows that the team was “playing with fire” giving the Rangers seven power play opportunities.
Brind’Amour spoke to the media over Zoom in the Hurricanes’ media availability on Sunday.
On if winning Game 1 will set a tone for the remainder of the series: I hope so. I don’t know how much it’s going to carry over or not.
