3 things.

1, i agree with tuck, it's your free puck and you have the initiative. why waste it.

2, many teams might send a particular player out as a matter of course to make one side look an easier option as they are setup better to defend that side, ie,make the wall look inviting cos its easier to defend.

3, what if they dont react? what if they just sit there and stare at you in a nice defensive screen as you swim slowly towards them with no momentum, initiative or plan?

quote away my man.
