You'd be crazy not to see how much quicker the Flames are playing this season, and so when they get shots off from these high danger areas (or any area for that matter), there is a much higher likelihood of it going in the net as the other team is often scrambling as a result of our speed.
There's a massive flaw in Gulutzan's coaching for corsi and shots from high danger areas, because he's not taking the other team's positioning and awareness into account.

But they take that into an account to a degree as well.
A low danger shot is outside the home plate area.
A medium danger shot is inside the home plate area but not with a pass or a deflection that makes it more likely to score.
A high danger shot attempt is deflected or passed into the home plate area.
So no tabulation method is 100% comprehensive but they do take into account level of danger in close.
