Tom Wilson opened eyes around the NHL with his overtime goal against the Toronto Maple Leafs in Game 1.

The Columbus Blue Jackets, for example, scored just once in their Game 1 loss to the Pittsburgh Penguins, and captain Nick Foligno pointed to Wilson's shot from the side boards as an example of a simple way to help boost his team's offense.

"There is no bad shot in the playoffs," Foligno said Friday about Wilson's goal, per Dan Rosen of NHL.com. "Sometimes when you're trying to create offense you're looking for the perfect play but that's not how it's going to work in the playoffs. The best offense is gritty and just throwing it in there."

And when Foligno says there's no bad shot, he means firing an attempt from anywhere.

"Catch a goalie off guard. Catch them off guard," he continued. "Right when they think you're going to go behind the net with it, rip it at the net. Things like that that all of a sudden cause chaos. That's really what you're trying to do in the offensive zone."

The Blue Jackets did outshoot the Penguins 32-29 in their Game 1 loss, a total that could rise if Foligno's message gets through.

And with Marc-Andre Fleury in net for Pittsburgh, one never knows what could happen.
