"You Miss 100% of the Shots You Don't Take" - Walter Gretzky

[BostonNit]

Last night we took 68 shots and won. Tonight 69 shots and lost. Gave up mid-50's shots each game. >250 shots at Pegula this weekend. Holy smokes!

I say this to my gf on a regular basis

That is not the quote from Gretzky.

It is:

“You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take”

It's a quote often attributed to his dad.

 

[BostonNit]

yes, the quote I wrote, have no idea where you came up with the one you wrote.

As if there's an important difference in meaning.

Point is, Penn State shoots. A lot.

there is an important difference when you start a thread with a quote, in quotation marks, that is inaccurate and was never said or attributed to the person you are quoting.

Point is, it’s fake news.

My goodness, relax people...BostonNit was just trying to make a point that PSU shoots a lot...who care how accurate the quote was...

There I fixed it. Because 100% accuracy on a 30 year old quote is more important than the fact that Penn State plays hockey that is fun to watch.

Getting a 30 year old quote wrong is understandable but your shots taken are way off. Combined the two teams took 73 shots last night and 70 tonight.

You are correct in that PSU plays some fun hockey to watch.

 

[BostonNit]

pretty sure he meant shots taken/attempted and not shots on goal.

Yes. The PSU sports app shows both shots taken and SOG.

Tonight:

PSU 69 S, 36 SOG
OSU 56 S, 34 SOG
