Just seemed strange that when the goalie is under siege we don't score as much.

Yes, I knew what you were trying to say, but had to make fun of what you actually posted.
And yes, the Flames record, when posting 40+ shots, is terrible, and when registering less than 30 shots, is really good. This is obviously counter-intuitive, but actually isn't as uncommon or off-kilter as it appears. If you look at games where a team (any team) posts 50+ shots, the records of those teams is shockingly bad. I remember one year where it happened 8 times, and that team lost 7 of those games. And I don't think that year was any great anomaly.
