So; The ball hitting the woodwork isn't always recorded as the ball hitting the woodwork unless it hits the woodwork without hitting another player.
It seems like SI might be using the OPTA definition of "off target" shots "A shot hitting the frame of the Goal is classified as a Shot Off Target unless the ball subsequently enters the net. A Blocked Shot is not classified as aShot Off Target." when this should only be used for On Target, Off Target and Blocked Shots.
