Who cares? It's about the number of shots you put in at the end of the day.
Shooting more also doesn't mean the opposition has had an edge in play. Shots can be fired from the perimeter and will still count. Isn't exactly telling of strong play if the D is keeping shots to the outside where they're far less dangerous. Flames seem to be more picky about their shots, but it's paying off, cause they're making them count.
The Flames have been playing outstanding hockey in the past ten games (except on the D side of things while in florida), and if they've been outshot in many of those, I wouldn't have even known. They're getting it done and it's no fluke.
