Muevelos Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 (edited) How can you?These players score 5 on 5, 4 on 4 etc. They know how to deke with the ice full. They know how to score with players trying to take their head off. Yet they can't when no one is trying to take the puck away? Sound a more of a mental bullet in their head at this point? Yeah Edited January 17, 2014 by CarterforPresident Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'7' Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 if this team was even 4-4 in shootouts we'd have 55 points and be above the wild card Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheRedStorm Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 More importantly, you can't practice it according to the coach either. Pete also forgot to add "you can't turn chicken sh!t into chicken salad". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DevsMan84 Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 I'd seriously like to know how you can practice the shootout. Like they do every other fvcking drill in practice, by just doing it on their own goalies. Do it until every skater has scored at least once. Stop taking the damn apologist route every friggin time.

Devils731 Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 (edited) Both Devils shooters put themselves in situations with large parts of the net wide open....then shot it where it wouldn't go in. Practice may help putting yourself in a good situation, but there's not much to be done about a NHL player missing open net.

'7' Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 Cory can't get a break. He could've stopped a few in the shootout as well. But I feel horrible dumping on him for a skills competition after his brilliant play in regulation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadDog2020 Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 I'd seriously like to know how you can practice the shootout. Simple- spend 20 minutes at the end of practice practicing the shootout. 'Practicing the shootout' is pretty self-explanatory. Its fvcking break-away practice. All it is. It couldn't hurt, that's for damn sure.

Unless we're shooting at our own goalies during the actual in game shootout, I fail to see how this helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheRedStorm Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 I'd seriously like to know how you can practice the shootout. You can't really "practice". What you can do is separate the players with the "hands" or those who have a skill at it and go with that. Perhaps the video guys can make SO videos of the goaltender they are facing that night and see if they can find tendencies or weaknesses and just play the percentages. That's all you can really do. It's a pure skill, it's not something learned and some players, even HOF players, don't have it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thefiestygoat Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 Devils have scored 37 goals for Schneider in his 23 starts (1.60 goals per game). Shooting at a 6.28% clip for him. Devils have scored 1 goal or less in 10 of his starts (43.47%). I feel for this guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devils731 Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 It couldn't hurt, that's for damn sure. It does if you're practicing something that you don't think helps you as much as practicing something else would. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

volchenkov28 Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 they seriously need to practice the shootout for sure its embarrassing and for all of us here and not on here knowing they will lose once they enter the shootout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At worst it's good cardio like every other practice and nothing else is as glaring as this. I guess, but they're still shooting on their own goalies. It's better than what they are doing now which is nothing. 0-11 it's time to start doing things differently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadDog2020 Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 Wow that's weird. Unless we're shooting at our own goalies during the actual in game shootout, I fail to see how this helps. We did break-away drills in practice all the time when I played in high school. Teams at all levels practice one-on-the-goalie's all the time, and have since the beginning of time, long before the shootout even existed. So yeah. I disagree wholeheartedly. It can help a lot, certainly with confidence if nothing else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But overall he has played great and has almost nothing to show for it because the team doesn't score goals for him.
