Then they were under dogs playing fast and with heart. The find a way Flames. Now they often play slow when they have possession and particularly when they are not on the rush.
Maybe we need to look at the assumptions behind the stats more so than drawing conclusions. There are far, far too many games where the stats are defied to warrant giving said stats such merit.

So you're telling me the eye test didn't match the advanced stats last night?
The Flames took the game over in the second period and held that edge all the way to the buzzer in the third.
What game were you watching?
This isn't hocus pocus, it's a team that gets great chances but can't finish.
