As for edslunch does that explanation for the two Oilers explain why Brodie and Gio had good Corsi's as well? The main reason that posters here throw out to show that Brodie is a top two dman is Corsi. Since Petry also has a study Corsi does that mean Jeff Petry is a top two dman or is there some other factor that makes Brodie a top two dman but not Petry?
My Oiler example was purely tongue in cheek, but sure it could explain Brodie and Gio's numbers I suppose. In the case of Brodie most posters here seem pretty impressed with him by watching, advanced stats are just another data point that some use to support their opinions.
