Yeah on a breakaway, the shooter has time and space. They have a lot more control. They take good shots, goalies save some, and they still take crappy shots. The xGF for a breakaway is probably around .35

And a shot which is a cross crease back door pass that a guy scores on has the same xGF as one that he stuffs into the goalie’s pad
