And for sure luck comes into that.
The Flames had two blue chip chances in the first 3 minutes of the game and didn't really get a shot off. Mangiapane has an empty net and hits the far post. That's not a goalie issue at all.
And Markstrom, as I pointed out had a screen and block out on goal 2, and the third one hit a body in front.
This just isn't the Flames season. Things just don't work. Not for star players finishing, and not for goaltenders stopping pucks.

Lol
TLDR; the xGF model does not reflect the work a goalie has to do
The Flames stuff a lot of pucks in to a well positioned goalie
They give up far fewer shots and far higher Grade A’s
xGF doesn’t capture it
Or “found a way to break the system”, in your words lol
That’s it. Pretty simple
Exactly what I have been saying is happening happened again.
