It's a statisical representation of shots by a team. It's similar to the
"red zone" in football in that shots from certain locations have higher
precentages of going in from the spot they are taken.
I don't have the number off the top of my head but the system accounts for
different percentanges based on location.
Locations used:
1. center ice
2. blue line
3. hash marks
4. bottom of the circle (closer to blue line)
5. face-off dot
6. top of circle
7. left corner near/in crease
8. right corner
9. center
Something like that, it's a little rough but that's close enough. The
closer the shot, the higher the percentage.
So, a shot on goal is still what it always as. The high percentage shot is
simply a subset of shots on.
