In the grand scheme of everything? No, it's not a major reason worth mentioning. It's scary that our coach thinks it's the
main reason.
Even if the Flames were an elite team on faceoffs and won 55% of the draws on the PK, they are now playing with a now only slightly loaded dice. Faceoff ranges between good and bad centremen do not range significantly enough for it to be a mitigating or causing factor.
Now consider how many times a goal was scored scored because the Flames lost a faceoff that they would have won if they were a better faceoff team. It is almost completely negligible. Not zero, correct, but not enough to concern oneself with.
I'm not the one with tunnel vision here.
