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.

When we were making fun of Dallas Eakins teams, they'd already sewed up their top pick, by November. This is not that. Although not living up to expectations, the flames are not a tire fire this season.
When the flames are playing well, which they have been for the passed several weeks, their system is not passive at all. As for defending the red line? That's not really a thing.
