And-o is both amazed and appalled that these ‘professionals’ do soooo poorly in what essentially equates to hockey’s version of a ‘free-throw’!  In fact, although scoring between 66%-and-75% of the time on such clear breakaway situations is not too much to ask and expect, simply recording a shot-on-goal should be mandatory!!!    

So, Carbo outta impose some very basic ground-rules here… 

And-o suggests the following;

1.       Missing the net is not an option!!!  So, any shooter who misses the net (including hitting a goal post) in a shoot-out will attend a mandatory one-hour supervised skate (or ‘exercycle’ session) the following morning with no sticks allowed (all above and beyond what is normally required of the team as a whole).

2.       Any player(s) enjoying less than a 66% success rate in shootouts (minimum of three attempts) will be required to attend biweekly on-ice drill sessions lasting a minimum of one-hour.
