Yes, the shot totals around the league may indeed be higher, but the Flames also have one of the best defences in the league and should be counted on to really be a leader in SA this year, especially of the high danger variety.
I am thinking it is just the kinks getting worked out at this time. Let's see where it is between games 10 and 15-20, and worry about it then if need be.

Quoted for truth. Watching the games it's clear that the Flames are allowing too many good chances. The actual shot totals or how they are counted is irrelevant.
Smith is playing great, though.
