You won't necessarily score on every shot but if you don't take the shot you definitely won't score. Every shot is a potential scoring chance because we've seen some very weird goals this season alone that happened simply because the puck was shot at the net and it bounced or dipped in just the right way. I've always agreed with the cliche Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24746874.post-1164833799141880092006-11-29T15:56:00.000-05:002006-11-29T15:56:00.000-05:00I think you are spot on about singling out NJ and ...I think you are spot on about singling out NJ and BOS as troublesome teams to which the Leafs have trouble adapting. Of course, they adapted last night, but just couldn't finish. They earned several early powerplays, but as paul point's out, Tucker missed from his office, and later on in the game from the top of the crease. And the lack of rally-wins is a big concern as well.

Oops.<BR/><BR/>Last night's shot count is meaningless. Anyone can hurl pucks at a goalie's chest from the perimeter (you've seen me play hockey - <I>literally</I> anyone can do it). The Leafs were out-shooting Boston 2:1 but the scoring chances were probably equal.<BR/><BR/>As for the team being unable to rally, maybe it MF37https://www.blogger.com/profile/10238252282255067686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24746874.post-1164823464046539512006-11-29T13:04:00.000-05:002006-11-29T13:04:00.000-05:00I think you meant to say third in the division and...I think you meant to say third in the division and fifth in the conference.<BR/><BR/>I disagree with your assessment of the coaching.<BR/><BR/>The Leafs had 46 shots on goal last night but only managed 1 goal against a guy that was in the ECHL prior to last season? That's not bad coaching. If your system is getting you 46 shots a game then it's a good system. The problem is a lack of finish Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
