Is he really expected to ease up in a one goal playoff game because he is probably beaten? It’s not like this is garbage time or a meaningless game, the exact opposite situation in fact

Scheifele stops skating and changes his trajectory to make the hit long before this—then he loads up for it. It seems obvious to me that he knew there was no chance to save a goal well before the point of this screen-cap.
Like Geo said: there was no play he could have made to stop the goal.
