Ben Shelley: Antti Raanta shines as Hurricanes beat Bruins 5-1 in Game 1

Destroy the Bruins, they never play fair.

What surprised me most was how physical the Canes were and how much they physically dominated Boston. Especially from midway through the second, they were just manhandling the Bruins.

Story of the game right there. Raanta also had a solid game.

Yeah. They did a good job of getting on the Bruins and not letting up.

I loved Trochek's response in the post game interview about the importance of getting the 1st game win. "It doesn't matter. We need to be ready for the next game."

The team seems really focused.
