Not so much "a lot" but "excessive" meaning more so then is average... and it's hard to figure that out, that's why I said "probably no" before, since it's not a league tracked stat and even if it were I imagine there would be a non-universal definition of what constitutes a scoring chance (and then it just becomes a subjective matter of opinion not fact). For what it's worth Kent Wilson (Metrognome on this site) tracks scoring chances for Flames games and I believe he has the Flames outchancing their opposition thus far... it's just that their chances are going past the netminder more then ours are.
I'm not throwing in the towel on this season, in terms of overall team effort I think this is the best we've seen in years... but we're getting poor goaltending and if we're to make the playoffs then we need Kipper to provide at least league average goaltending (and he needs to start right eff'ing now).
