Would two strong shuffles to the right, with continuing momentum at the end of shuffle two been more effective?
My answer is I don't know if, that was a wicked backhand shot, but thought I'd discuss the point.

IMO, I think Turco was caught a little too deep in his crease/not centered which caused that puck to beat him on the blocker side. He got to where he needed to be with the hope step and was set before the shot was taken from PD but I think it just beat him clean to the blocker side and it also went off the post.
Also, PD was in the zone last night!!
First goal on Turco - start the video at the .35 second mark.
