Well yeah. That's kind of the point of using the stats. Last night was 50/50. Not a great game in that sense. Unfortunately often this season, when the Flames have had more A+ chances than the opposing team, they find ways to lose.
These are the most lopsided Flames games this season when it comes to high danger, A+, chances:
14-5 for the Flames - loss to the Canucks
15-7 flames - beat Caps
19-9 flames - beat Coyotes
6-3 flames - loss to Sens
12-6 flames - loss to Wings
7-4 flames - loss to Canes
The truth is the Flames get their chances. Their 4th in the league in HDCF%. More often than not they get more A+ scoring chances than the opposition. The problem is the Flames are 19th in HDGF%. They don't bury those chances and the other team does.
