Are you saying that the Flames give up more grade A scoring chances than other teams despite giving up fewer shots than any other WC team except one?

....and do they give up the most grade A scoring chances of every WC team to justify being dead last in goals against per game?

If it's true, its' true but I sure would like to see the stats to back that one up. Quality of scoring chances is a tough stat to get a handle on though, can be quite subjective.
Having watched a lot of hockey so far this year, I would say that yes, The Calgary Flames give up an inordinate amount of high quality scoring chances, usually after being hemmed in their own zone for the majority of a shift or off an offensive zone draw.

The quality of turnovers has been egregious up to this point.

This is, but a sprinkling:
