False.
Flames 3.7 xGF per 60 is the 4th highest total of any team in the playoffs.
Flames 13.8 High Danger chances per 60 are the 5th highest total of any team in the playoffs.
Flames 2.9 xGA per 60 is the 2nd lowest if any team in the playoffs.
Flames 10.2 high danger changes against per 60 are the 3rd lowest of any team in the playoffs.
Flames 56.2% xGF is the third highest of any team in the playoffs behind only Colorado and Pittsburgh.
The biggest issue is that the Flames have a 5.45% shooting percentage, and a 6.9% high danger shooting percentage.
For context the next lowest high danger shooting percentage is 13.46%, or double the Flames.
Flames have been goalied…plain and simple.
