All season the Flames have been clockwork ...
Get on a 1.2 (mild heater) PDO run and win 9 of 11 games etc.
Get on a stretch where it's 0.9 range and they lose three of four, but get some OT points.
To start the playoffs ... PDO all situations
1. Edmonton 1.054
2. Dallas 1.053
3. Colorado 1.042
4. Washington 1.033
5. Carolina 1.033
16. LA 0.946
15. Calgary 0.947
The Flames are shooting 3.13% in all situations, the average playoff team is 9.25%. Calgary has had 96 shots which is the difference of 9 goals vs the 3 they've scored.
In the regular season the Flames shot 10.0%, and the average NHL team was 9.56%.
Seems to me the Flames are very due for a correction .. the issue? Time. In the regular season you know it's going to come around, in the playoffs it better come around quickly.
High danger chance generation:
Regular season the Flames were 11th at 12.31/game all situation. They gave up 9.75/game all situations, good for 2nd.
Regular season league average 11.56/game
Playoffs they are generating 13.0 per game, good for 6th, and giving up 10.3/game, good for 3rd ... once again all situations.
Playoff average is 12.0.
If you drill deeper they're not as good five on five, but have had a much more potent powerplay without the results.
Honestly ... pretty much everything points to the dam breaking.
