This game reminded me of a pet peeve.
In the first minute, Provy had a grade A chance on a backhand shot that beat Ward, but just hit the post.
Early in the second, when we were down by a goal, Couts came out behind the 'Canes net and would have had a great backhand opportunity. Instead, he turned to his forehand and the chance was gone by the time he got there.
It seemed like I'd seen this a lot before. Checking the NHL.com stats, we're 27th in backhand shots.
Hak, if you're reading this (fat chance), you might want to have the coaches work on the guys' backhand skills and instruct them to take those opportunities when they have them. The backhand, when well executed, can be a really dangerous shot.
