If the Flames moved from where they are in shots against (13th - 2231) to the very best in the league (1st - 2091). It would mean they would have only given up 16 fewer goals this season, while maintaining a .890 save percentage.

If this team would move from the worst save percentage in the league (.890) to league average (.910) while giving up the same amount of shots (2231) they would have given up 44 fewer goals this season.

Pretty clear to see where this team has more opportunity to improve, and what was the bigger issue this season.

Also when it comes down to Scoring Chance For/Against differential the Flames are pretty much exactly at 50%. So not like we give up a ridiculous amount of high quality chances compared to what we generate.

Lots of room for improvement on this team when it comes to suppressing shots and shot quality but the defensive issues this year have really been magnified by how truly terrible our goaltending has been.
