Remember when we made fun of the Oilers for winning the advanced stats battle, but losing games?
Perhaps the definition of "scoring event" is not useful, and doesn't measure real scoring chances. People try to identify high danger scoring chances, but it's really hard to do objectively, other than shots from the high danger area. But even counting those treats every velocity shot, screened or unscreened as the same.
I don't know how anyone can watch the Flames and not see an overly passive system with little puck pressure and no defense of either the centre line or blue line.
