Currently sitting at a 8.9 Shooting% based on 2855 shots. A 1% increase (9.9%-ranked 18th in the league) would have us sitting at 283 goals instead of 253. So 30 more goals over a season. In that scenario we would be at about 3.54 GF/G, ranking us 5th in the entire league instead of 18th.
A single percentage point doesn't mean much in most scenarios, but it does here. The teams inability to finish plays or make more dangerous chances is a big reason for where they are. What's the post count again? 77 according to this article (not sure on the count, but whatever). Count even a 3rd of those and this team wins a lot more of those one-goal games that they lost throughout the year. Get one extra save in OT and you win a bunch more of those OT games.
Worst year I can remember for luck for any team, not just the Flames. The discrepancies between SF and SA vs. GF and GA is glaring, and it's been this way since game 5. Just an utterly cursed season that the players do have some of the blame for, but honestly, they just need an exorcism. |
That 1% is massive thats why I wanted to be careful anyone can say well if our shooting % is better we score more but we are using such a small number and it increases our goals for dramatically.
That 1% honestly is the difference between missing the playoffs and winning the division which is nuts.
