That would lead to great corsi results, despite not being very good.
There is no context to reflect this though.

that and teams that are losing tend to "push" it a bit, we're certainly seeing the Flames trying to force things more now that they are tight. Giordano blasting a slap shot wide on a powerplay that has the puck end up behind the Flames net.
We didn't see that earlier.
So they are less patient, shooting more, probably seeing the quality of shot plummeting and with it the shooting percentage.
