The Flames used a high shot volume game last season too. Did that upset you?
They finished the season top five in almost every metric.
Is your theory then ... that Sutter has now taken aside his team and emphasized even further out, worse angles, greater distance?
Or do you think the changes to the roster has the offensive flow maybe not hitting on all cylinders to start a season?
I know what makes more sense to me!
Flames are 8th in xgf60 right now. Hardly a low chance, only from the outside team. They could certainly up their hd chance rates for sure, but you don't generate 8th in xgf60 with muffins from the outside only.
