Hell you didn't need advanced stats to see that as the shots on goal were 32-19.
I don't think stats get embarrassed ... they are what they are. I certainly didn't say the Flames should be happy, or that Sutter would be happy, or that Calgary was unluckly.
Hit a nerve Jets fan?

It is pretty obvious that the Flames dominate a stat that does not relate to winning hockey games but somehow suggest the Flames weak shot attempts should have them win this game 3-2.
So what is the value of you posting this:

the Flames held an expected goal split of 57%.

Individually the Flames were led by Milan Lucic and Mikael Backlund, who both had 80%+ nights. Chris Tanev, Mark Giordano and Dillon Dube were in the 70s. At the bottom of the pile was Joakim Nordstrom, the only player with a sub 50% night for the Flames.

The Flames are the #2 team in the North Division in SAT%. The first team is Montreal, who is #2 in the whole league.... plan the parade route down Crescent Street
the stats you are hanging your hat on are meaningless as far as winning or even being a decent team.
