Because every goal is a shot, but not every goal is a scoring chance. When Manny posted his xG model online, he noted that it wasn't a better predictor for goals than shot attempts. However, the xG model built by DTMAboutHeart, he's stated that it is better than shot attempts.

Also, because shot attempts are important
That's what I was missing. Got it.
Do you know what percentage of goals that are scored come from shots graded as scoring chances? League wide and for the Rangers specifically?
Also, what's your thoughts on guys like Weber and Josi etc. who are regarded as elite players but have bad advanced stats?
