Advanced stats have literally ruined "hockey talk".
100% of the time any hockey discussion about a team breaks down to corsi and PDO and one side arguing how awesome and flawless it is and the other side argues why it sucks.
Any stat that doesn't take into consideration quality over quantitiy shouldn't be relied on as the be all and end all for a discussion, but it's literally all the advanced stats guys do. They never try to explain why the Flames are defying their statistical analysis, which is the anti-thesis of statistical analysis, they just brush it off and yell "unsustainable", "they'll fall back to earth", "COLORADO" "COLORADO!!!!!"
