I think we’ll see a more consistent effort overall from the Jets. Having gotten past game one and got that first win out of the way should take some of the edge off the pressure. I’m not really surprised things were a little off for game one in that environment.
I'm really excited that Laine scored that confidence boosting goalscorer's goal. I was a bit worried about him needing a couple of games to adjust to the playoffs aggressivity and speed.
The last 5 minutes have been a good thing IMO. Like said, that first game was all about "actually finally doing it" and defending is part of that as well. When they tightened up, they looked good and didn't really give up any high scoring chances for that entire 2.5 minutes.
Will they keep the same officials for game 2? He wasn't really a factor last night, but I'm worried that was the calm before Hurricane St Laurent hits.
If Perreault is not ready to go, I would consider putting in Dano instead of Roslovic. A natural LW who at this point is better than Roslovic in his 2 way play. Could be the right choice to make as I don't think that Little and Armia are good enough to cover for Roslovic when needed esp with one of them playing their weak side.

What’s this about Lowry being injured? How did I miss this? I didn’t notice his absence in the game...LeBrun said Lowry left the building limping last night, so at least it doesn't seem to be any sort of re-occurrence if his back/shoulder

I posted this in the GDT. LeBrun was the only media person who noticed apparently.
