NHL Game Highlights | Predators vs. Hurricanes, Game 1 - May 17, 2021

Carolina Hurricanes captain Jordan Staal lifted his team with a pair of goals to beat the Nashville Predators 5-2 in Game 1.

[@rovaniemipasta]

So magical seeing a packed arena, finally the best part of hockey has returned (At least in Carolina)

[@sh0kxxx]

just the lower is "full". still 12/18k in regards to full capacity.

[@dathaniel9403]

First (almost) full game is the first playoff game of the year, I love it! It was my first ever playoff game and even though I had 300-level seats it was still amazing.

[@brandonf24]

Our Preds were simply outclassed, outplayed, and absolutely embarrassing at times. Almost a night and day observation. No-look, reckless passes, turnovers in the neutral zone, turnovers down low behind your own net, no possession time, 💩 defense, 💩 powerplay, etc., etc. Additionally, I think Hynes made a mistake with the lineup...watching Gudbranson and Harpur was like watching glaciers move against a fast, skilled team...and a powerplay without a Tolvanen just seems wrong. The matchup is reminiscent of the Preds/Canucks series in 2011. At least go down fighting guys...they capitulated in the 3rd.

Saros was absolutely on his A game. He shut down so many high danger chances.

[@howardbaxter2514]

Both goals I would say were on the men in front and not Ned, but Ned definitely could have saved the first one. First goal was on Svech for puck watching. Second goal was just a bad deflection off of Nino’s back. Not much Ned could do there, especially since he and his glove were in position.
