The goalies have allowed an abnormal amount of Low Danger and Medium Danger goals against. Overall the save percentage is a little deflated because of how few low danger shots we allow, but overall the team doesn't allow many High Danger or Low Danger shots, but over index a bit on Medium Danger vs other teams.
Unfortunately medium danger is where we have the 31st save percentage in the league.
I feel like Wolf would have better than an .854 save percentage on Medium Danger shots.

The bold is the thing. People keep defending the goalies with the argument that the Flames are giving up ridiculous chances, and they have no chance, due to perfect shots. But here are the numbers - it isn't high danger chances that are sinking them, it's the medium danger stuff. Saves that need to be made.
Again, EVERY goalie lets in bad goals - no one is perfect. But it's a numbers game, and the stats speak for themselves. There are simply TOO MANY soft goals going in. And that will destroy the confidence of the team, every time.
