Like pretty much any type of analysis or stats there will always be outliers.
14/15 Flames were an example of that. Chemistry, style, coaching, penalty differential (took fewest and drew lots) and at times pure luck (last minute comebacks) overcame the “stats”.
17/18 Flames are the other end of that spectrum. Poor coaching and leadership, piss poor special team, too many penalties, and a piss poor shooting percentage (Same team shot 1.3% higher last year or ~33 goals YoU).
IMO what’s more annoying is the fact that somehow with this fan base outshooting the other team has become a bad thing. And somehow this team magically takes shots that are worse than the other team, while the other team scores goals on “higher quality” shots from the point that bounce off two guys from the blue line then go in.
It’s a #### season. Part of it poor coaching, part of it on a lack of scoring depth on the roster, and as much as people here don’t like to admit a bit of bad luck too.

You can shoot 6 million shots a game for 82 games a season and rank 24th in the league in goals for per game, Flames proved it, know why? because they don't set up, there's no bodies in the shooting lanes to bounce pucks off of twice on the way to the net. It is BAD coaching and bad systems. And yes high volume shot generation is a BAD thing!
They don't get those bounces because no one is near a rebound or in a lane. Only to be there regularly is Tkachuk. Guess what? it was working with his 24 goals.
28 shots a game into a goalies tummy isn't good hockey. It's bad hockey, end of story.
