Yes, things average out. And the Flames unsustainably high percentage goaltending did fall back to earth, but it did not affect the consistency of them winning games.
I know our shooting percentage must be well above average, but if you look at where the majority of our shots are being taken game after game, versus our opposition, we're often shooting from much higher probability locations on the ice. We're averaging less shots per game than most, but making our shots count because the majority of them aren't from the perimeter.

Are shot positions available online as data, not just charts? It ought to be easy enough to come with some sort of weighted shot quality star based on distance and angle to the net
