How did a former Cane feel about the current Canes’ Game 1 in Round 1 vs the Islanders?

Erik Cole, Former Carolina Hurricane, on what he saw during the first game and what they need to do with the rest of the series.

How much credit does Erik give Freddie for their win on Saturday night? How big was the addition of Jake Guentzel to the team, in Erik’s opinion? How beneficial was that piece for this playoff run compared to previous years? What’s it like in the mind of a player going through the playoffs/playing each game?
