You should use statistics like a drunk man uses a lamp post, for support rather than illumination.
Put the eye test and use the stats to support it.
Slow and rigid puck movement = opponents set up = opposing goalie is prepared
Sure, we lack shooting talent, perhaps there is even a thing called "bad luck" but hey, we're 160 games in to the same ******* GG system, the results tell the truth.
It sure looks like we aim for the goalie's chest all the time, but that's because the goalie is already set up and is able to to a high percentage save with his body in front of the puck. No slides or flashy gloves needed.
So yes, I do believe there is a thing like "bad high quality shots" because I can watch the Flames play. There is little tic-tac-toe or puck rushing, something this team could thrive on.
