So the one thing I noticed about the Flames is that they are in between the dots a lot, but usually in traffic or in less than ready positions to shoot. Monahan is the one guy that stands out with his point blank chances, but everybody else seems to be in an awkward position to shoot or in scrambles. Is it skill or positioning? We all have our own ideas there.
But I believe that this is where the eye test is still the best way to judge a game. The 17-7 scoring chances result last night looks like a domination by the Flames, but it really wasn't. It was a lot closer than that IMO.
