1 positioning.
being on the post or right next to the goalkeeper will give you very easy shots on goal (goalie stops the ball it will land at your feet 1m from the line)
2 control
keeping the ball close to your stick makes it a lot harder for defenders to steal
3 Pushing the ball
Inside the D there is most likely a lot of defenders. If you go for a big swing the ball will be taken before you can hit the ball
A quick fast push is not only harder to steal but more controlled and less predictable
