Lack of players that can take a one timer has been a known, and baffling, issue for years now. These are D1 players and it seems like they have not been taught or focused on it at all. Watch a power play like St Cloud and you'll see the difference it makes when you have many players that can launch a one time bomb. It even applies five on five. They always have big D men that can launch bombs from the point.
Big shot - Rebound - Goal
Thankfully we finally have Snuggerud who has an NHL shot and great one timer. Cooley and a few others try but none are great at it. Pitlick, Faber, and Chesley come to mind as at least being able to connect for the most part. At least they're trying more this year. But you still see a lot of whiffs.
