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.

Maybe biased recollection but to me a lot of the low shot count games were ones where they stifled the opposition for a long time but then let a breakaway or two on one be the first thing the goalie faced. And that pattern then continued thru the game.
