One thing they need to do is shooooot!! Just shoot the puck. Connor trying to make the fancy play to Scheifele on that break. Just shoot the damn puck already. Scheifele is guilty of that as well. Especially in these tight games.

Yep. At that point, I was standing in front of the tv yelling "just shoot the damn puck!" Both of those guys have great shots, so quit trying to make the fancy play and just give it a go. At the very least, Smith might give up a rebound that either one of them might have a chance to bang in.
If the Jets keep playing the way they did last night, this is going to be a long, tight series. I could see McDavid and Co. breaking out here and there and prying the defense open at times as this could very well be a see-saw series depending on how it goes and honestly, whether Ehlers and PLD make an appearance again. If it is drawn out, I agree- advantage Jets. Especially with our advantage in goaltending.
