Great question.So
@TheFifthScallop , my friend and I were discussing what constitutes a shot.
I figure it's a shot if it's on goal, and would have scored had the net been empty.
Is it a shot if someone simply fires away, even if it's wide of the net?
A shot can completely miss. It’s still a shot. A shot on goal has to be touched by the goaltender. If it hits the crossbar or a post, but a goalie never touches it, it’s not a shot on goal.
