It's really become ridiculous how widely used advanced stats have become. They can take over any debate when they should only be used as supporting stats when used in the proper context.
Go from using 'advanced stats' to support claims, then say words like 'unsustainable' and 'lucky' to counter any team that doesn't follow the trend. Doesn't seem all that scientific.
This isn't baseball and the formula for a fail-proof advanced stat in Hockey has not yet been created. Teams defy the odds for different reasons every year. The reason this sport is awesome is due to it's complexity.
