i think the thing that really gets my goat is when all these people - from official commentators to fans - say that the best solution is to 'just take a shot at the net, just shoot!'
if the answer to scoring difficulties truly required zero strategy or team finesse and cooperation between players, and simply needed more shots at the net to win.... a lot more teams would be doing better right now lol.
its like last year when all anybody could talk about for the rangers was telling artemi 'shoot more shoot more!' and this year, admittedly, he is doing that. so all these people are patting themselves on the back like 'yes, he took my advice, im smarter than a hockey player'. when if you actually watch him he's doing a lot more than just shooting differently than last year. he's being a lot more aggressive and confident for one thing, and he and troch have built up a sixth sense between each other thats a little alarming in how well it works sometimes.
#every time the pens power play happens and people are complaining about the passing i remember this#i know its hard to have faith in a team that cant find its feet right now but#i do still trust that they mostly know the direction they are developing in#and Just Shoot isnt gonna cut it so pls would people stop harping on that#jrnlsht#side note i WISH coaches would break down their strategies so i could hope to understand what is changing better#but i also fully get why that is a stupid thing to do cause you dont want to give out that info to other teams lol
