Do:
- Shoot. More.
- Go to blue paint. Annoy. Drive to net.
- Get Ryan Smyth / Anze Kopitar / Justin Williams away from the Sedins (That's Henrik Sedin and Daniel Sedin to you, Auto-Tagger). That match-up neutralized the Kopitar line and didn't stop the Sedins.
- Reunite Alexander Frolov with Michal Handzus / Wayne Simmonds and stick them to the Sedins like glue.
- Split up Randy Jones / Jack Johnson. Or sit Jones in favor of Davis Drewiske.
- Sit Jeff Halpern in favor of Scott Parse. Put Parse on the second line with Jarret Stoll / Dustin Brown. Put Brad Richardson between Fredrik Modin and Raitis Ivanans.
- If that seems insane, instead dress Parse, sit Ivanans, and go with a line of Modin/Halpern/Parse.
- Attach Rich Clune to Alexandre Burrows like a barnacle.
- Control shots against. 27-ish, not 40-whatever.
Don't:
- Skate from the slot to the boards before shooting.
- Wait for the perfect shot.
- Try to make a shot so perfect that if you're off by 3 inches you miss the net.
- Decide this is a good time not to dump it in even if you're supposed to.
- Skate by the net after your pretty shot.
- Stop skating while backchecking against Sedins.
- Play Johnson more than Doughty.
- Play Jones more than Rob Scuderi.
- Show compilations of Kings overtime goals before overtime starts.
- Celebrate goals before they cross the goal-line.
