One could assume that the farther from the net you are, the higher your chances of missing the net would be...perhaps the reason they missed so many is that they were shooting from places that had little chance of making a mark... which could feed into the narrative of the Flames being a perimeter team.

For sure.
That's why the addition of high, medium and low danger shot attempts and shots (made it through) is new information.
When you have 65 shot attempts with no break down of where they came you may have a team that is a perimeter squad that never generates anything.
But when you have a team that is off the charts in high and medium chances, but not as high in low, they're actually shooting from dangerous areas more often than most NHL teams.
This graphic pretty much shows the breakdown. Lots of heat in the middle in front of the net.
Compared to what they gave up.
I'm honestly not making this stuff up guys.
