A system that routinely out shoots and out chances the opposition is the very definition of coaching for success isn't it?
"Outchancing doesn't always equal success"
It doesn't when the players don't execute. But what more can a coach do but create a system where you get more chances?

I have an opinion on the coach, yes, but does that really mean that my thoughts don't matter? Many NHL people will tell you that this is a show me league, not a "try" league. I think we can agree that the results aren't there.
I think the problem is that not all chances are equal. We can't judge a team by that. Monahan missed an almost sure goal in OT last game. That's a chance that gets on a replay feed and more often than not they go in. But how are other chances defined? A shot from the same spot by Monahan will have a different outcome than one from Brouwer. At least most of the time.
So yes the Flames are buzzing around and shooting, but again, that can have different results.
