It might go a long way to explain the Flames continuing defiance of the possession stats - I would assume their scoring chance to shot attempt differential is very high. ie. they tend to shoot when they have a good chance to score, moreso than other teams around the league.

A rules-based scoring chance differential would be really cool to see also, the current way of looking at chances is way too subjective.
It was already shown in another thread that if you don't limit Corsi/Fenwick to 5 on 5 like most do, the Flames while still below average move from crazy outlier to 'a team getting some breaks' (particularly if you use Fenwick).
