I'm not sure it makes much difference. The flames are on average worse by 12 shot attempts per game, but only better by about 10-20 goals total of you tone down our shooting percentage to normal. At most that means that about 0.7 wrist shots go in instead of causing rebounds. To explain the corsi then, that would mean that each goal extra because of "wrist shot skill" would prevent about 20 or so rebounds. I don't buy it
