the team on defense has just played very good defense, but in terms of possession advanced stats they're taken a hit.
If the Flames who are very much a rush team goes down the ice in 3 seconds and scores on a breakaway and then the opposition comes back and holds the puck on the cycle for 30 seconds without getting a good shot the stats will likely show that the Flames have been dominated.
Moneyball stat tracking is flawed in a fluid sport.

The Flames are very fast up the ice. The one thing I like the most about them probably. The forwards are relentless, constantly going wide past the defense or threatening to. I don't know how relevant this is statistically but they sure don't spend much time standing around with the puck. It's forward, forward, forward all the time.
