Our defense firing shots from the point is a complete non-factor on the PP. Our D-man receives a pass, and then they sit there waiting every damn time until the other teams players get into the shooting lane and the goalie can get set for the shot. Then, and only then, will they 1) fire the puck for an easy shot block/save or 2) pass the puck to someone else who then does the exact same thing. Honestly, I just wish they would one time the darn puck to just get it to the net, inaccurate shot be damned. This would at least create some havoc in front of the net and make the overall PP less predictable to defend against.
