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.
I thought that this was the kind of stuff fancy stats were supposed to explain though.
