Just Put It On Net

The Red Wings show how to execute a simple net drive with a shot from the outside lane.

Here are some things they do well;

A. Width to Attack- Thru the Neutral Zone, Bertuzzi stays wide where there is some open ice and receives the pass to gain entry to the zone.

B. Get It On Net- You can see Bertuzzi look around and look for his options.  He see that he is being cut off from continuing forward so he just puts a puck on the net. 

C. Net Drive- The shot isn't a dangerous shot but what makes the save harder is that the player drives the net and gets inside position on the defenseman.  Fleury sees this and now has to worry about putting this easy shot to a spot where it is not dangerous.  He doesn't do this and leaves the rebound in the slot where it ends up in the back of the net.

The benefits of doing the little things well will allow you to have more success in your game.  It may not always be flashy but doing these things well game in and game out will allow to to play the game at the highest level possible. Come work on these "little things" @ The RINK
