This times a million!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Even when this team was beasting in 10-11, they still didn't have this. They had a dominant power play and the wizardry of the Sedins that made it so players could pretty much pass it into the net. However, we haven't had players with good shots on this team. Kesler's was alright, but his wrister from the blue line that he shot between defenders' feet got old pretty quickly. Even the Sedins don't get their shots off very quickly. They tend to try and outwait goaltenders and look for the perfect pass. I think it's one of the reasons why this team has trouble scoring in the playoffs. We routinely make backups look like vezina calibre goaltenders. It's nice to have some young prospects with some high-end shots.Virtanen. I really like the Owen Nolan comparisons. It's crazy how people have been screaming for us to pick WHL guys for years and then when we finally pick one high people complain.
The thing about our first round prospects is that for the most part they can shoot. Shinkaruk, Virtanen, Jensen, and McCann all have the ability to shoot and that's something this team has severely been lacking.
