There are a lot of ways to get it done.

Anders Lee was masterful at creating his own space to finish with his physical play. Mario Lucia had an actual NHL caliber shot, and when the opponent lost him, he was quite deadly. Anders Bjork was better at recognizing another team's breakdown than most college players, and as a result found himself in good places to finish a scoring opportunity. I don't think this team has that type of talent. It needs a couple of players like that.

I would not like watching a PSU style much more than I did Ferris State. Notre Dame (and the entirety of hockey at all levels) takes too many shots to generate their 30 or 31 on net each game. Notre Dame probably attempts 20-25 shots a game that miss the mark or get blocked. Penn State probably does that 40 times a game.

Offense in hockey is all about odd-man breakdowns. We all know and love the 2-on-1 or 3-on-1 rush. Well even after you establish offense zone possession it is a matter of finding the odd skater and that skater then shooting. Of course if the shot is generated from far enough out it is also a matter of traffic to occupy the goalie and/or crashing the net. Notre Dame missed a half dozen good potential looks so far this weekend because they did not have people crashing after shots. They managed to also generate a few nice chances because they did do that. Got to happen all the time or almost all the time.
