Twenty-three shots. One goal.
That was the shots to goal line last week in the draw with Vancouver. I know you’re probably sick of hearing about such inefficiency. I’m certainly sick of typing it. And yet, it still is stuck in my craw. Aside from zero shot games, a game like that quite possibly the worst possible situation for a forward corps. It is, in a way more embarrassing than a lack of shots, because with a game like that, you can at least say that “the defense was so smothering there were no shot opportunities” ... even if that’s a lie.
