What am I missing?

With the team faceoff percentage being so low I certainly wouldn't be shocked if they are trying to push the limits to gain an advantage but I suspect the percentages are also being hurt by having guys like Jackman and Glencross having to take faceoffs.
Is there any evidence that the Flame Cs are getting kicked out more than the other team? Or is this simply your impression? (just asking)
