Having the puck in your opponents end, and being able to take a shot is better than not having the puck in your opponents end and not being able to take a shot.
Even if it does get blocked.

Have you ever wondered why the Oilers finish so poorly in the standings despite decent possession numbers? Bad shots. You're missing the point here. It doesn't matter if you have possession of the puck if you don't do anything useful with it. Similarly, it doesn't matter if the other guy has possession of the puck if you can prevent him from doing anything useful with it (by blocking his shot, for example.)
