But it's true at this point. Its an inconceivable amount of times the goaltender is beat only to clank it off the iron.

If I'm correct its 21 over the last 8 games. That's beyond absurd.
i think SN had an article about that... saying the flames are closer than their record shows... was posted on the site last week...reasons for optimism:

The Flames are shooting at just 7.53 per cent in all situations and 5.74 per cent at five-on five, which puts them 28th in the league in both categories. Numbers like that are typically unsustainably low, which suggests some improvement as we move into the second half of the season.

while the Flames have been snake bitten wrt scoring, it seems like its bad luck and can't be sustained...at some point, those posts will start turning into goals...i hope
