IMO, the decline in production from the 3M line is completely explained away by the brutal injury Frolik had. Edit: And the putrid depth that made his loss nearly insurmountable.

One thing to remember too though is the fact that the league added a new way of counting shots on goal last season which saw the average game go up by 10% ... that factors into most of your team differential as every team went up on average last year.

Huh, I didn't know this.

The 15th ranked NHL team two years ago had 30.4 shots, last year 32.2 so 1.8 shots per game for the median team. Calgary went from 29.1 to 33.6 or up 4.7, seems like a third of that at least was do to counting.
