    Default Shot mentality?

    So far this season Justin Williams, Jeff Carter, Dustin Brown, Drew Doughty, Slava Voynov, Trevor Lewis and Mike Richards have all taken more shots on goal than Anze Kopitar's meager total of 28. While I don't expect Kopitar to lead the team in shots and I love his shooting %, I would like to see him take on a far more aggressive offensive role.

    Trevor Lewis, Anze, Trevor Lewis? Really?

    100% of the shots you don't take won't score goals.

    Yet he's still second on the team in goals and is a PPG player w/ 17 points in 17 games......

    Opportunity cost. A bad shot taken could cost another player an opportunity for a better shot.

    A) Don't you talk bad about Trevor Lewis!!

    B) If everyone's playing good, no one has to be great. (aka the one sentence that may just end up summing up Anze's entire career, and kinda whatta shame that would be)

    I think the knee is still not 100%. Not that it has anything to do with taking shots, but I do think it makes him a little tentative. He falls a lot because he can't bend it properly. Notice it on faceoffs, too.
    His last shot on goal was pretty great, though! He also had a couple of missed opportunities last night where Williams was trying for the setup but it just didn't get through. He needs to make himself bigger on the ice. He should be taking up more space with his whole body...again it seems like a tentative thing.

    I am a very big Trevor Lewis fan. No disrespect intended.

    His beautiful goal last night notwithstanding, I just thought it was time for the obligatory "Where's Anze Hiding?" thread.

    With respect to Anze's shot totals, I agree he should probably take more shots. However, Brown isn't much of a passer and Anze does quite a lot of work along the boards and behind the net. He's also leading the team in assists. So that should give some indication as to why his shot totals might be lower. At least that's my take.
