We’ll see if the way this team is playing “shot volume” will work out over an 82 game season. Through the first 36 games it isn’t working. The Flames are outside of the playoffs.

He's very wrong with that as an assessment of last night's game though. The heat map shows the Flames generated tons of shots from prime scoring areas.
There are nights where the Flames generate lots of shots and are not dangerous. last night was not one of those nights.
Also, with even semi competent reffing the Flames would have had another two PP's, from which they likely would have had even more scoring chances. They did what they did 5v5.
Woodcraft didn't want to say his team was lucky to win. Whether that's because their wonder twins ego's are fragile or the Oilers organization has some sort of broken group think where he actually believes they were good, we will never know.
Flames outplayed the Oilers from top to bottom. Luck, posts and biased officiated got the Oilers a W.
