A snippet, which is poignant, and people need to understand… especially the “SHOOT MORE” people…
>That’s why one-size-fits-all solutions to Winnipeg’s scoring woes always sounded so incomplete. “Shoot more” doesn’t work if the angles are bad and there are bodies in the way. “Hold on to the puck” doesn’t work if everything in the offensive zone has gone stagnant. “Trust that strong metrics will lead to goals” doesn’t work when [James Reimer](https://theathletic.com/nhl/player/james-reimer-TJdWHwRLuM1ZvWjP/) dives across the net with his paddle and knocks a puck out of mid-air. The Jets have scored the sixth-fewest goals in the [NHL](https://theathletic.com/nhl/) over their last 25 games — even after their 12-goal weekend outburst — and that’s a problem.
EDIT: also, this is a good article so far (I’m not done reading it)
