We are talking hockey IQ
Where to shoot
When to shoot
How to shoot
Are key parts of the finishing part of hockey IQ.
Guys who can not finish often get described as having all the tools but not the tool box.
Finishing is about picking your spots and that relies alot on how high is your hockey IQ is
I understand what you're saying, but in hockey vernacular, they would be considered two separate entities; one may be a high IQ player, but lack finish just as another player could have strong finishing ability but be considered a lower IQ player.
For example, guys like Laine or Galchenyuk may be considered strong finishers, but perhaps are lacking the IQ of a Niklas Backstrom who is considered a weaker finisher
