I'm not a huge believer in those "outchancing" numbers either. Really most hockey stats IMO seem pretty dubious to me. When I watch the games, I see a team that's been getting about the results they have deserved.
I think they can play better, but that's what it's going to take to win more. I don't think they're in any way due.
