The April Blues Part Three: What happened to all those shots?

Part three in our fancystats examination of what went wrong with the St. Louis Blues in the playoffs last season.

In part one of our series we took a look at the usage decisions made by Hitchcock and his staff during the playoffs last season. We noticed some interesting choices in who saw an increase in their ice time during the playoffs versus who saw less time than usual. In part two we broke down the team's possession numbers as expressed in terms of shot attempts (i.e. corsi and fenwick). Certain players stepped up and drove possession more in the playoffs than we saw during the regular season.
