Could that be that they were shooting through or around guys because the defense was set? Lots of shoots, even from high quality locations with the goalie and defense set. Flames were either being to fine with their shoots, ie; no where to shoot on the goalie (trying to pick corners) or through defensemen. Not enough lateral movement especially cross seem passes.
I like Bingo's take in the previous post. It sums up my feelings.
