It could be just as simple as this team doesn't have the shooters to get it done. I mean are we really surprised? Who among the forward group has a cannon of a shot? Ferland? He has 1 goal in 23 games. Frolik? He's got a muffin. Bennett? Muffin. Brouwer? Muffin. We have guys who work hard and generate a lot of shots, but their actually ability to finish is below average.

I like to look at the basics. I saw the Isles with 4 or 5 top notch chances early in the 2nd period. Those chances alone were better than anything the Flames generated all game.
How many odd man rushes did each team had?
Breakaways?
One on ones up close?
I think it was a lot closer that the shot clock alludes to.
