I think the thing that sticks out to me is the speed at which the Flames move and move the puck. They are relentless in terms of puck pursuit and I think often force teams to take a lot of shots whenever they can in the offensive zone.

Let's examine the Coyotes game in particular.

Coyotes had 3 shots in the first period; All from outside the circle or along the goal line.



The second period had the Flames playing a bit more on their heels as the Coyotes pushed back, but still not a lot of shots from prime scoring locations.



Then in the third, the Flames got back to their game and eliminated shots from prime scoring locations.



It's more than just purely looking at the advanced stats, it's putting them in context, something that Burke likes to talk about.
