If I had a nickel for every time Noesen scored a game-winning goal for the Hurricanes in round one, game one of the playoffs against the Islanders, I’d have two nickels, which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it happened twice

[@mode1charlie170]

He has been playing great down the stretch!

[@JB0i]

First Playoff game this season and it was great! So excited for the postseason.

[@rjhaney2614]

So glad to have John Forslund calling a Canes game again.

[@ultimate8550]

My first thought as well...I think some part of him still wishes he was working with Tripp.

[@garysharp3841]

Pretty bias announcer. Sorry about the female color commentator too, must be the woke choice.

@@garysharp3841not compared to Jack Edwards he’s not now that’s what u call biased 😏

[@garettnelson1]

Kuznetsov's transformation with the Carolina Hurricanes is impressive to witness. While the Islanders made it to the playoffs, they'll need better luck next year. Predicting this round, it seems the Hurricanes will likely clinch victory in five or six games.

[@bruhdude6712]

or even 4

[@PhoenixRed96]

Carolina was cleanly struggling for the first two periods. They stole game 1, I hope they win the series but Islanders look good too.

[@Garbox80]

​@@PhoenixRed96 Canes have those defensive mishaps way too much to be a serious contender. I wasn't worried until they still kept having those after christmas. Need to have tighter game in their own end.

[@AnDrEeViCh812]

Kuzi's first goal to playoff 🎉🎉🎉 Let’s go Canes ‼️‼️‼️❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥 Thanks Mr. Andersen 👏👏👏

[@henrik6502]

Andersen is the man. One of the best playoff goalies out there.

Kuznetsov actually translates to "I shoot laser beams" in english

[@KEVIN88GT]

It actually means grasshopper. But close :)

[@Kurvaux]

kuznets means blacksmith. kuznetsov means “of the blacksmiths” so his full name is evgeny of the blacksmiths. If you’ve ever wondered why most Russian names end in -ov that’s why. It means “of the ____s”

[@kylebetsmlb]

@@Kurvaux very good, thanks for the explanation!

[@pirog3865]

Hello, in Russia when he played, many called him Kuzya (short) and played for the Traktor team.

[@lilcarlou]

Kuz is dangerous. Watch out for him he might have great playoffs

[@jon8004]

I watched him for years as a Caps fan. He's the only player in the NHL whose game has a sense of humor. He's got a whole highlight reel of goals that are basically punchlines to a joke he was telling as he skated end to end. He's sneaky, and he'll try wild stuff that other players wouldn't.

[@Alexander-ts1dl]

Mr Andersen beast, lucky game for hurricanes

[@Bleed_Red]

Not lucky, just skill

[@russellny8086]

Lucky lol Rangers and Hurricanes tops in the division. islanders and capitals crawled in 🤣

[@russell-di8js]

An entertaining if not the best technical game defensively for the Canes, but hey they can work on that! More important is to get the momentum swing rocking in your favour. Freddie looked so strong in net, I bet he got in the heads of a few Islanders.

[@Chezblarger]

Hey hey what do you say! Man I miss John. What a gem he is.

[@Trogdor390]

[@user-ee9jj8we5s]

Всех поздравляю с плей-офф 🤝❗️😎🍀🍀🍀❗️

[@ryant1090]

The set play that led up to the EN goal was beautiful. Normally, I'm not hockey-smart enough to notice these things in real-time. But Drury out-muscled the Islander for the faceoff win. At the same time, Pesce has already gone into the corner to pick up the puck. Necas was already making his way up the boards to pick up the Pesce's clearing attempt. Then Necas simply outworked Dobson for the EN. Absolute perfection.

[@JurasekIII]

Islanders deserve a strong playoff run, Carolina's fanbase always comes out huge for their team, if you didn't know that they were a Carolina team you'd think that they were Canadian or something. 💯

[@martinskalejs7742]

Islanders deserve nothing more than sweep! Remember we dont need you! Cowards!

[@GR-bn3xj]

No dog in this fight, but I would say from these highlights, the islanders should have won this game. But that's playoff hockey. A gold tender can change an entire game or a little bit of luck can

[@Hal-yc9jd]

Good to hear Johnny calling the game again. Just isn’t the same without him

[@TheSvenson1875]

Don't expect such a strong performance from the Islanders... At least Anderson save the game for Canes 🤷‍♂️

[@timarb5177]

Going to be a good series! Thought the Canes would breeze through this but this is a different NY team under Roy.

[@user-mo7vp1fx7o]

Kuzya's shot is the elite

[@Mike_Stramaglio]

Not sure why everyone was expecting an easy Canes win. How many times have we seen lower ranked teams win big series and sometimes the Cup? This is playoff hockey, and all teams who made the cut are pretty good.

[@bwstanley26]

canes caught a huge break tonight because they were not nearly good enough. expect a much different effort monday night. if they drop that game then suddenly they’ll be staring at a 1-1 series where they could easily be down 2-0 and knowing that they’ve likely been outplayed to that point in the series. need a motivated effort in G2. credit to the isles though for making it tough and really forcing their will and style on this game. we’ll see if it was a sign of things to come or a missed opportunity that they didn’t capitalize and steal game one on the road.

[@MrTiinytiim]

Carolina’s fans seem so calm and lame for it being a playoff game. Couldn’t believe the lack of reaction when Freddie made that sprawling stretched out save on the ground.

[@louisbuss6068]

MR ANDERSEN!

[@valitsemllaluokanavahyvaks3556]

Great game for andersen.

[@chrislautoronto]

The game is a lot closer than the score suggests, the islanders really showed up. Looking forward to the rest of the series. Will Freddie be the next ex-leaf to hoist the cup?

[@iLikeDMR]

There just is no comparison between playoff hockey and the regular season

[@karlheinzvonkroemann2217]

The Islanders played a great game against a far better team until the last 2 mins of the contest. The biggest issue was not finding the back of the net when they had numerous great looks that they could have scored on throughout the game. The next biggest problem was the faceoff circle. The Islanders were OWNED there and couldn't find a way to break though. They have to do better in both areas if they want to be relevant in these playoffs. The Canes don't give you much to begin with so you have to grab your oppurtunities or go back to the Island for the summer.

[@johnathanpatrick6118]

10:02 -- freeze. CAR leads 2-0...?? But ain't this game 1?! I didn't know playoff wins count double!! So apparently it's first to 8 making this a best of 15. Can you tax all these playoff teams any more, TNT?! 🤣🤣 As for the game itself...Freddie Andersen. That's all. 😁😁

Crazy to me that this game was closer than boston on toronto. Wonder if the series' will reflect that.

Not crazy at all to anyone who’s watched any of the canes or islanders this year. This series was always gonna be close

[@dimabrovikov4139]

Goalkeeper this is half the team. Very well play by andersen.

[@robertperrotto870]

Canes were lucky this game. Islanders out played them in the 2nd and 3rd periods, missed 3 wide open shots.

[@DumbAndDumberMC]

What? I can agree with the 2nd, but we were clearly the better team in the 3rd

[@jcsandstorm919]

Canes were far better in the third period…. Isles outplayed the canes in half of the first period and the whole second period but you’re smoking something strong if you thought the isles were better in the third 😂

[@GR-bn3xj]

I thought the islanders dominated the second period but it was even in the third. I thought the Islanders were the better team tonight but good luck and great goal tending turned the game for them

[@robertperrotto870]

@@jcsandstorm919 Disagree, the Islanders had better chances then the Canes in the third by far, puck possession was about even, but the Isles generated better scoring chances. This could have easily been 4-2 or 5-2 Islander victory. And trust me, I absolutely detest the Islanders as only a Rangers fan can growing up in the late 70's early 80's.

Islanders unable to turn possession into goals, where have I heard that tune before. Lacking offensive talent, which interestingly is the same problem the Hurricanes have but they just found enough to squeak this game.
