It's time to put an end to the age-old strategy of letting the goalie take the shooter on 2-on-1 rushes.
One of the oldest hockey proverbs deals with 2-on-1's and it states: "thou shalt giveth the shooter to the goalie". It's a guiding principle we Canadian kids heard from the likes of Don Cherry up in Canada, it's something I see at all levels of hockey today, it's even something we see at times in the NHL, and it's almost always praised by commentators and color analysts... when it works that is. The prevalence of this strategy is astounding, especially when you consider that it just does not work!
