I think someone in another thread suggested that maybe it might be more meaningful if the data was normalized, and perhaps add horizontal lines for the averages for the best and worst teams in the league as well. Is +10 Corsi events/60 min pretty good, or really good? How about +10 SC/60? As is, about the only thing you can take away from the graph is that the Flames have generally above-average shot metrics for most of their games - but otherwise gives no information on relative performance compared to the best and worst teams.
Like right now, looking at the bars, it looks like the Flames should be well below average for total shot generation (ie. the gray bars are mostly below the line) - yet the Flames are supposedly 4th in the league for CF/60, according to the number in the parenthesis? One of those must be wrong, or I am misunderstanding something on the graph.
