Thought about this last night as well. I don't know if it's that he doesn't have moves, or if it's just nerves. A lot of times a player will go with the simple play, simply because they don't want to get too fancy. If he's nervous, his first instinct could just be to see the net and shoot at this point. It worked in Game 7 against Theodore.
He really probably should have had at least 1 though in that game last night.
