I know that the analytics tell a decent story but my eyeballs sure don't.
What I see in the vast majority of games - we run around like lunatics in our own end. We finally move the puck up and are stalled in the neutral zone. Then we go back to our own end and run around again. Every so often those short passes turn into a decent rush and we get a scoring chance. Lately we haven't buried a whole lot of those.
Maybe the possession numbers look good because we don't give up as many total shots when we're stuck in our own end but we sure seem to spend a lot of time and energy running around back there chasing the game. Many of the shots are grade A and B chances.
