often we work too long for the shot and give it up without ever getting one off

Recognizing the good shot is always key, too. We've had a lot of cases where we try to force the shot and it gets blocked by a forward, too. That's the kind of thing that leads to SHGA.

Stating the obvious. We take far too many shots from outside without working the puck in closer. Always better to move the puck in, even if the point man has to skate it in a bit, so the goalie has less time to react to the shot. i cannot remember when our boys had this as their modus operandi.

I don’t know if they listed the final stats on RPI tv, but they had 10 SOG on their 4 PP’s. Nice to see them shooting more when they had the extra man.
Also, Dr. D will like this, faceoffs were just about equal.
Had Marshall in the PtC, almost picked up a shutout. At least I’ll get a QS out of it... :)

Taking shots from the outside is not in itself a bad thing. We need to work on getting people in front of the net for rebounds and tip ins. We are not very good at either of those two things. I have seen hall of famers make a living out of sitting in the right position to pick up rebounds.

Only when you include the center ice face offs! But we did far better in the third period albeit losing the last couple when Yale had pulled the goalie for the extra attacker and those were critical to win (and we did not)

EHF: As I am sure you noted, you do not miss much, our defense men just do not creep in before taking their shots from the point. They take most of them just inside the blue line and give the goalie more time to react. Moving even a couple feet in makes their shots arrive at the crease that much quicker. it may only decrease the time to react by milliseconds, but anything we can do that helps would be nice.
