I have to admit, I did not watch the entrie game live so this may be incorrect to some other's recollection:
-I thought PP1 was actually quite good (in one PP in particular) where PP2 came on later and had issues.
The passing was sharp and they directed pucks at the net. They need more from Tkachuk and Lindholm (that combo on the PP has been very good in the past). I think the guy who gets the first pass on the entry has to make a good next play, in tight space, to really set up possession. They guy who does that best, imo (fast hands, protects puck) is Tkachuk.
That touch (first touch inside blueline after entry) is the key.
