Regardless of how this game turns out today, it adds more evidence to my theory that the Flames are giving up way to many odd man rushes and breakaways at home. I have to think that odd man rushes initial shots and rebounds are statistically way more dangerous than shots from anywhere once everyone is set up in the zone.
Do things like corsi account for that in any way? Or if there's a stretch where we have 5 or 6 shot attempts but we inevitably give up a breakaway or 2 on 1 and they score, then it's just bad luck?
It's something to my eyes that looks a problem we have at home but not on the road, and something the coaches need to figure out how to fix.
