The slot is the area of the net with the best shot-scoring probability without deflection. Its low position allows a player to shoot with a wrist shot and achieve high accuracy. But the slot is also a no man’s land for defenders. It is essential that a player shoots from the slot with accuracy to increase his or her scoring chances.

The 9pm/Saturday night/etc. slot

The 9pm/Saturday night/ etc slot is filled with a variety of television shows. Usually, one of the most successful shows will air in that slot. A good example of a show that can survive the time slot is “Fringe,” which moved from Wednesday night to Friday night to make room for American Idol. Fringe had great ratings on Wednesday nights, and ABC thought that it would continue to be popular in its new time slot.
