Just figured this out:
Most shots come from the blue line, approx 60' from the goal, at an "average" of 80 mph (=117 fps). That means the goalie has a full half-second to react/respond or get set - and from the eye test, most NHL goalies (excluding Markstrom apparently) seem to be able to do that most of the time.
Shoot from closer in - even with a lower speed - and you're cutting the reaction period seriously. Not rocket science.
Flames on the PP carry the puck down low and immediately pass it back to the worst location for scoring. What a crap plan and team.
