Yeah, a BUNCH of the Flames shots were low danger from the outside.
I'm sure everyone remembers (though probably wish they don't) Eakins' "win the corsi, shoot from anywhere" approach. We had better corsi stats than most of the teams we played against when he was coaching. How'd that work out for us again?

Outshoot your opponent and you’ll win. Is that you Dallas Eakins?
I do agree that this team needs to get better in all aspects of the defensive side, but that’s a Tipp specialty. If there is one thing he can do, it can coach defensive systems. I think they will work out the kinks, but I’m expecting a losing streak first.

You guys are making the same mistake as Eakins, but in reverse. Eakins thought that since there was a correlation between shots and goals, that therefore more shots from anywhere would equal more goals. That was flawed, clearly.
But the correlation DOES exist. While trying to game the system to pump shot counts isn't going to work, having possession and getting the puck on the other teams net more than they're getting it on yours is going to have a positive correlation to goal differential. If they're getting outshot badly every night, it likely will catch up to them at some point. Again tonight, 39 shots against, which speaks to our week defence. That goaltending is better than expected, but both of these goalies have had hot runs before. I think it would be a huge mistake to watch them have a little hot streak and decide from that that the goaltending woes are all behind us - especially if Koskinen plays a lot due to the injury to Smith.
