Which team is better (or, as Flame fans view things, worse)?
Team A: 30 shots per game, shooting percentage of 10%
Team B: 40 shots per game, shooting percentage of 7.5%
the answer, of course, is that both teams score 3.0 goals per game

The issue is we are Team B right now carrying the play, and we are Team A on team defence with a poor save %.
I think that's kind of the conclusion we to above is yes we need to score more, but we don't give up many shots so save % matters a lot more for our team.
