It is possible for multiple things to be true at the same time
A team can dominate in shots, can dominate in high danger chances, have a low xGA, and can also leave their goalie hung out to dry and cost themselves a game

Have never debated that.
But are you seriously arguing that your unsupported view is the Flames have somehow found a way to be worse defensively then their objectively collected numbers suggest compared to the other 31 hockey teams? That Calgary mistakes fall outside of the norm compared to all their peers that we have to ignore the defensive metrics and instead decide it's the defense and not the goaltending.
Or ... their goaltending (starter especially) has been pretty vanilla this year.
I know what train I'm on.
