OK Flash ...
Had a look at Backlund season over season.
He was up 23% in undangerous shots, and 15% in dangerous shots. His on ice shooting percentage in the undangerous shots only sagged by 0.6% though, compared to his on ice shooting percentage in the dangerous variety which was off 2.8%.
The shear quantity of the first group over the second group though does lead to an equal weighting between the two.
His on ice performance lost 13 goals, 6.7 from non dangerous and 6.0 from dangerous.
So the answer is both ... more shots that didn't have much of a chance to go in, and then either a sag in finish for the whole line when in tight or an off year (bad bounces) for the trio as a whole.
