Coaches and management, sure they probably are a good tool, but as a fan? Who gives a #### if your team is winning or at least heading in the right direction.
Advanced stats are for fans of no good teams that want to feel better about their no good team.

The other thing is confidence, I'm waiting for Mike Corsi or Jim Fenwick to expand their data collection to this next, should be a winner for sure.
The confidence on this team right now is unbelievable, shaky/rusty goalie, gio + brodie having a bad game? No problem, we will still score 2 goals late in the game to send it to OT and a shootout win.
What if these young guys gain more confidence, then what? Right now they seem to like to feel the opposing team out for 2 periods and tend to make a statement in the 3rd. What if they start playing the way they do in the 3rd for the entire game?
