Daily Inspiration Quote by Greg Moore

“Obviously” does a lot of work here: it’s the rhetorical shoulder-check that turns a messy, high-variance sport into something that sounds like simple arithmetic. “The more pucks you get to the net, the more the percentages go up” is hockey’s blue-collar gospel dressed up as analytics-lite, and that’s why it lands. It reassures fans and teammates that there’s a controllable lever - effort, volume, repetition - even when everyone knows luck, bounces, and goaltending can humiliate the best plan.

The intent is practical, almost managerial: stop overpassing, stop hunting for the perfect highlight-reel lane, and start manufacturing chaos. “Get to the net” isn’t just about shots; it’s about traffic, rebounds, deflections, ugly goals that don’t make a montage but do make a scoreboard. The subtext is a mild rebuke of finesse culture: your creativity is welcome, but only after you’ve paid the rent with pressure.

Calling it “percentages” is telling. It borrows the language of probability without sounding like a spreadsheet, a bridge between old-school grit and the newer hunger for measurable edges. Coming from a celebrity voice, it also functions as a public-facing mantra: something clean enough to repeat in interviews, sturdy enough to defend any outcome. If they win, it’s validation; if they lose, they “didn’t get enough pucks to the net.” That’s the beauty - and the dodge - of the obvious.
