Seems about right as that's what my eyes are telling me right now. In the off-season, Tre will definitely need to address our lack of one shot scorers and natural finishers. I would love it if we had just at least one player who could skate down the wing with some speed and absolutely bury a shot past the goalie and into the net. Nobody on our team really has that ability. |
Yeah we are first in the league in shots from those areas with 948.
But rank 29th (11.71%) in the league in converting on those chances from the high danger areas.
Last year the Flames ranked 9th in finishing those chances (14.58%).
That difference in shooting percentage equates to 27 goals. As mentioned part of that might be them getting "lower quality" high danger chances but it's hard to really say what causes that big of a shooting percentage drop.
And it's also a decent stat to be top 5 in looking back. Going back 5 years every Stanley Cup finalist has been at least in the top 10 of generating these chances. Pittsburgh finished top 5 each of the last two seasons.
