Its just how i understand it to happen, and thats from guys who would know.....unless it has changed since last year but i highly doubt that is the case....and im sure we would have heard of such from one of the pinheads on radio/tv who live and die by such stuff.

You are correct. They are not used because it's basically an invented number that does not necessarily correlate into anything. If it did Jussi Jokinen would be the highest paid player in the NHL.
Corsi was designed to show how much work a goaltender did in a game, when deciding to use in back to back games. There might only be 18 shots on goal, but 50 directed at the net, so a tender must be set for every shot and therefore more worked than 18 shots would indicate.
It has very recently been used to indicate possession / driving offense - and some day some form of it may be used, but it isn't now. Which metric would you use anyway? Corsi Fenwick (close or relative) WOWY Vollman's sledgehammer etc
