Joe Sakic and Paul Kariya both had 50-goal seasons with shooting percentage below 10% for the year. They were elite snipers, too. All it meant was they usually got the puck on the net, and shot a lot.
- bmeltzer

No they didn't. Sakic had 4 close to 50 goal seasons. The lowest one was 15%.

Edit. Kariya had a 14.3% shooting percentage in his one 50 goal season. And a career 11.5 shooting percentage, doesn't that kinda count as not being a sniper?

Ovechkin has a career 12.3% shooting percentage. For an "elite sniper" that is low. He leads the league in shots almost every year. The guy has an incredible release but you can't say he is a "sniper" because he has a heavy shot. He literally just skates straight forward and shoots or stand in one spot and shoots the puck. A lot.

Make what you want of that but I'm pretty sure Giroux could match his numbers if he stood in one spot and had Backstrom feed him pucks all day.

12.3% is way above league average (8-9%)... and people act as if getting 300-400 shots per year is some trifling thing to scoff at in a league where entire teams have trouble getting to 30-shots/game, much less one guy managing to get off 5-7 per all by himself.

I guess Coatsy doesnt know why Flyers fans boo Carter and Richards.

That's true. Ovechkin could be more selective with his shots and up that percentage.
- MJL

Whether that would see an increase in points/goals is another thing.

So do they wake up before a goal is score or do we have to wait for the Kings to get one?

Need to pick it up some boys

Why would they? That is weak. They didn't ask to be traded, they didn't want to be traded.

Or they take a penalty, though the way the PK is going, that might not be a bad idea

Personally, I don't mind booing while the player carries a puck. It's booing when they're received that might sit poorly with me.
