Chicago is the only team with a Corsi over 55%, and they're 24th in Shooting%. Three teams (Calgary, Colorado, Buffalo) have Corsi under 45%, and two of them (CGY, COL) are in the top 10 in Shooting%. |
Once again, I'll ask the question: are there other factors at play here?
Style of play, perhaps?
Seems to me that there might be a positive correlation between scoring off the rush / transitional teams (possibly defined by team speed), and shooting percentage.
Remember when the Flames were a cycle team and got lots of shots but had trouble scoring? Good times.
