But you're vastly overestimating how many lost rebound opportunities are being missed because of the Flames' higher shooting percentage. I won't bore you with the numbers, but if the Flames' shooting percentage was 2% lower, they'd have probably generated 1-2 more shots over the season to date as a result of rebounds. It basically has zero effect.
