'Everyone knows that those penalties kind of cost us the game,' said Hurricanes star Sebastian Aho of the disastrous six-minute stretch in the third period. (Via reporterchris)

The huge swing of special teams momentum was made even tougher by the fact the Hurricanes controlled a healthy swath of the second period at 5-on-5. They were skating and relentless, working the puck around the offensive zone and mostly keeping it away from potential danger.

"You look at their roster, obviously, they’re a pretty talented group," said Hurricanes forward Greg McKegg. "They’ve had that power play there for a while. There’s a lot of chemistry and they move it around." He welcomed the change of scenery when the Bruins traded him to Calgary in June 2015 and appears to be on the upswing at the end of his first season in Carolina. Absent the penalties, he played a hell of a Game 1 — recording a team-best four shots on goal while helping the Hurricanes control 60.7 per cent of even-strength shot attempts and 68.75 of scoring chances while he was on the ice.

"I don’t really care," said Hamilton. "They’ve chanted my name before. For me, it is what it is. Obviously unfortunate that I was in the box and taking those penalties. I mean, it’s playoff hockey. That’s what you expect."

reporterchris No, your penalty kill did that. Those calls happen, and you gotta deal with it. Just kill the penalty, and stop blaming the referees all the time. Everyone knows they are bad this year.
