Ehlers Blinks and the Cup Final Opens With A Bang

Nikolaj Ehlers does not waste time, and Game 1 barely had a pulse before he put his stamp on it. A goal 25 seconds in changes the temperature of a building fast, especially this late in the season when every shift gets replayed like evidence. In the Final, the first swing often tells you who is forcing the pace and who is suddenly chasing shadows. One early bounce can tilt the whole night, and Ehlers made sure everybody noticed immediately.
