Importance of Good Breakout Passes and Low, Hard Shots - Finn


In the Hawk’s game against the Sabres, for the Sabres only goal, Toews got a bad breakout pass and then couldn’t get the puck past the defender pinching. I feel like this happens a lot in our games and whenever we can’t get the puck out of the zone the other team will get a lot more chances. 

For Hossa’s goal, it’s a great example of just getting shots on net. He takes the one timer and then the hawks recover the rebound and Hossa gets it back and finds a lane and just gets it low and on net. I feel like we don’t get enough low hard shots on net. The hawks next goal is similar in that Panik just fires it on net hard off the one timer and toews buries the rebound. 

The hawks next goal was a really pretty tic tac toe. Kane knows exactly what he was going to do with the puck before it even got there. This is similar to the glory road drill that we do in practice.


In regards to the Benet game, I feel that we struggled a lot with putting rebounds in the back of their net and also keeping rebounds out of our own net. I think a majority of their goals were rebounds in front of the net and also we could have put at least two or three of our own rebounds in their net.
