The best laid plans for the Carolina Hurricanes to even their East Final with the Florida Panthers were compromised within 77 seconds and nearly completely dashed after 20 minutes. If there was any doubt the defending champions have no intention of giving up their title, Game 2 was Exhibit A.

Also licking some wounds: the Edmonton Oilers. Vic and Neil will take a look at the West Final and what the Oilers need to do in Dallas in order to bring the West Final back home even.

More front office and coaching news is on the menu and This Day in History turns the clock back a mere three years...to a time things weren't quite as bright for the Florida Panthers.
