I have no idea how the Flames get so many shots because according to all the people watching the game we don’t shoot off the rush, when we are set up, or with any traffic. Just open lane, unscreened wrist shots from the point I guess.
Kent Wilson had an article on this today

Calgary is currently second in the league at generating HDCF [high danger shot attempts], with 12.8 per 60 minutes at even strength. Only six teams create 12 HD shot attempts or more per hour this year.

If we look at high danger shooting percentage, however, things change. Calgary's HDSH% is just 11.16 percent, good for 27th in the NHL, with the median rate falling at about 12.7 percent. Good looks, bad execution.

Maybe this team sucks at shooting the puck. It's unfortunate because we didn't see such adverse shooting percentage metrics last season.
