If a hockey team doesn’t shoot the puck, it obviously limits its chances of winning a game.
Because, well, the puck never reaches the net in the first place to even have a chance of getting past the opposing goaltender.
I want to pause and applaud Ted Kulfan for simultaneously doing the great thing of not dragging out that old cliche “you miss 100% of the shots you don’t take” while also taking three times as long to arrive at making the same point.
The point is based on some postgame comments by Blashill that were said after the Tampa loss, but they fit just as well today as yesterday.
