The basic counting of xGF and HDCF may be off when a team is concentrating on defense and expecting their goalie to stop a hurried no other option shot from an area marked High danger.
If I have it correct the wicked misses that would beat the goalie and go an inch wide or hit the post are not high danger chances and hitting the goalies crest or glove from the same spot is a HD chance.
Do the times that Morrissey gets his stick on the puck as the Oiler shoots from a HD spot count? HD attempted shot on goal?
