I think they're pressing.

The best way to see that is in the miss totals that the Flames continue to have.

Missed shots 1st (that's the total at 718, next closest is Carolina at 691)

Crossbars - 11 (1st, 7 is 2nd)
Posts - 27 (13th)
Over the Net - 79 (3rd)
Wide - 601 (tied for first)

Young core trying to be too perfect on shots is my guess.

And this is why I think things are going to break in the right direction. They have the chances against down, becoming an elite differential team with a really high missed shot total.

Confidence will change everything.

Personally I'd have them shooting middle of the net for the month of February and see what happens.
When you say this, are you suggesting that it happens soon (ie this month/season) or do you mean as they age, so next season?
