Flubbed Shots in the Playoff Push

[kiraaa23 0]

Yo bro, last weekend’s playoff game was a disaster for my shooting. I was wide open in the slot, game tied, and my wrister fluttered like a wounded duck straight to the goalie’s glove. Used to have a decent shot in college, but now it’s costing us big. My teammates were cool, but I could tell they were frustrated. Can you break down common hockey shooting mistakes and how to fix ‘em? Like, wrist position or follow-through tips to get my shot back on track?

Bro, I feel this one deep. Couple years back during our beer league finals, I had a golden chance—empty slot, puck on my tape, and I panicked. Ended up flipping a soft muffin right into the goalie’s chest. Whole bench groaned in unison . Honestly, a lot of it comes down to small mechanics slipping over time—like not rolling your wrists through, leaning too far back, or rushing the release. I actually fixed mine by focusing on weight transfer and follow-through. This article helped me a ton: hockey shooting mistakes — breaks it down super clearly. Give it a look before your next game.
