Bad players? Don't think they're bad, but do think they were not put in a position to succeed by the "system" they were told to play.
But how do you see the shot totals as inflated? Isn't that done/counted by more-or-less neutral parties? (Yes, there is some subjectivity on whether a shot was toward the net or not, but it can't be that huge.)

Maybe "inflated" was not a good word to use but I used it in the sense that a lot of Flames shots taken were not difficult saves for goaltenders. Do high danger scoring stats take into account for traffic in front of the net distracting the goaltender or providing screens?
