I find puck control doesn't generate much in the way of shots.. Perhaps make your defensive system more aggressive. I feel in this game a lot of your offence comes from your defence's ability to generate turnovers.
I'm basically having the opposite issue. For me I look at how much sustained pressure and presence my team has in the offensive zone. Stretching the D and Cycling seems to generate that.. but I give up a lot of goals. So I wonder if my offence creates too many turnovers which lead to too many offensive chances for the opposition.
One other thing I find is that I I roll the lines in the first two periods: 18 minutes, 15, 15, and 12 minutes for the forwards and 22 minutes, 20, and 18 for the defenders, then ramp up the minutes for the top guys in the 3rd and change a few roles (in other words shorten the bench) I generate a few more shots.
I really need a systems/tactics/game management guru I think.
