When statistics are collected in inconsistent ways the data is considered unreliable, or junk. There is no consistency to data collection not application. Advanced stats are crap.

I won't go that far, but much like hits, shots on net are subjective based on the scorekeeper. Its closer in the NHL than in junior leagues, but shots can be counted differently in different arenas.
I would suspect with a large enough sample you might be able to strip out the noise. But it is something to consider.
