Brett Hull used to say he just aimed for the middle of the net and got it off quickly.

If I'm coaching I get them all to shoot hard at the middle of the net until they get out of first place in missed shots.
I don't really believe in luck in situations like these. While anxiousness and even luck might be play a part, I think the answer is more likely somewhere here...

The PP doesn't generate chances with open net to shoot at, so when they shoot they often only have desperate snipe options, which easily miss or hit the post.
