"You miss something something something shots something something something." Wayne Somebody
At the all-star break I took a look at the St. Louis Blues goal scoring and shot rate. In that article I had this somewhat dire warning.
In order for the Blues to continue this pace of goal scoring, they need to be taking more shots on goal. Unless this shots for trend changes, I fear we might see a scoring slump on the horizon for this team.
And if you look at the first tab of the dataviz below you will see that the second half of the season the Blues maintained a similar rate of shots and consequently they had a drop in their shooting percentage and in goals per game as well as goals per 60 (all of this is 5v5).
