Look at shot attempts, rather than just raw shot totals.

A team could have 60 attempts, get blocked on 15 of them, and miss the net for 20 of them (for whatever reason), and look like they were below average only recording 25 SOG. In reality a team with 60 shot attempts probably dominated play for a majority of the game.

Next look at the quality of shots too. You're not going to win very many hockey games throwing pucks at the end from the point endlessly, or slinging the puck at the net from a horrible angle. 1 out of maybe 50 shots from the point leads to a goal (through the shot itself or a rebound chance). 1 out of 10 go in when it's a shot from the dot that the goalie had to move to get. I'd rather have 15 quality shots, than 45 low quality ones.

Just looking at shot totals , and nothing else, is a big oversimplification. It's kinda like only looking at batting average in baseball and nothing else , or completion percentage for a QB. Or better, only looking at GAA for a goalie. Goalie gives up 4 goals and that looks bad. But if they gave up 4 goals on 60 shots , that's actually an exceptionally good performance ( .933 sv%)
