Yes, a tonne of shots from the slot with zero secondary positioning. Is there a stat for that? there should be, either the players didn't get the system or rushed their shots before proper set up could occur. Either way, execution is a coaching sin. And I just find the players constantly second guessed their decision making and I assume that is because they're trying to execute a system that was counter intuitive. You can whip 40 shots from the slot a night but if there's no one screening the goalie or a forward just off the corner of the net to clean up rebounds, you're just not going to be successful despite having a "high danger" scoring chance.
Too many one and done chances by any name by the Flames this year but that also made them a top stats team.
Bottom line is, I want a coach that brings instinct back into the players games. Get these guys positioned better on scoring chances.
