OccamsRazor Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 1 hour ago, JR Ewing said: Holy crap. I'm hearing this straight? The problem is that Giroux, Simmonds and Voracek don't shoot the puck enough? Giroux shoots the puck 2.85 times more than league average. Simmonds shoots the puck 2.26 times more than league average. Voracek shoots the puck 2.69 times more than league average. Laying a lack of playoff success at the feet of the guys, and saying it's because they don't shoot the puck often enough is an obtuse argument. I agree. How did that work for the Caps in game 5?? They had 80+ shots 44 hit the net and zero got by Neuvy. It is all about quality not quantity. Flyers had 11 shots on net and 2 goals (one empty netter).

Are you saying we need them and need to shoot more?! how are they supposed to win, by not shooting the puck? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could pass it around until it bounces off someone's skate and into the net. It's so hard to score these days, a bank pass off a D-man's skate is as good as shot I reckon.

I wouldn't at all mind a $1.5M cap hit in 17-18 to get an actual hockey player on the ice instead of a boat anchor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And back in high school I won a fight I had no business walking away from without a broken nose, but if we did that ten times, he'd have probably won 8 or 9 of them. So sure, the Flyers won those games, but being horrendously outshot isn't a solid part of a long term strategy (and no, I don't accuse you of forwarding that plan). Much more often that not, you lose. I took a look at the last 48,319 goal scored... If we look at the correlation between goals scored and check to see if volume or quality is the superior choice, we get: Shots For/60: 0.83 Scoring Chances For/60: 0.38 Two data sets aren't even considered to be correlated until you're in the range of +0.6, so, that gap is really notable. That isn't to say that a team should just waste their chances, or step over the blue line and fire a Ryan Smyth-esque slapper, just wasting possession.
