I'm "obtuse" because I haven't "noticed" the same thing that you have "noticed"?

Do you have the figures available for how much better it is for Flames goalies since the arrival of McGrattan? (I know that this is something Brian Burke mentioned in an interview, but I am afraid that I am not convinced by just his say so, nor by what you purport to have noticed).

I am a firm believer that much of what we think we see is what we expect to see, and until there is actual data to confirm the belief that what you or I have noticed corresponds to reality I will remain dubious of these sorts of anecdotal claims.
