The issue is we don't split high danger chances into shades of grey. It's either a high danger chance or it isn't.
If you're cheating offensively you're going to give up higher degree high danger chances, but it's still just a count.
The shot maps show the Flames had the play but when they broke down they broke down pretty spectacularly.
With that you put a lot of pressure on your goaltender to make the save, and Vladar didn't get it done.
I think it's pointless to just blame the goaltender, but it's equally pointless to just blame the skaters. Neither had a good night in the end.
