Ehlers Lights The Fuse In 25 Seconds As Finals Open

The kind of opening-strike goal that makes a building gasp is exactly what this one is about. Ehlers gets Carolina rolling before most fans have even settled in, and that kind of start changes the temperature of a Stanley Cup Final in a hurry. Fast starts in this round have a habit of hanging around in the memory, because everyone in the room knows one early swing can tilt the whole series before it really breathes.
