Summary for those who don't want to click.
Giordano + Brodie good
Brodie by himself OK
Flames bad before, now with Giordano, are double extra secret probation bad
Why won't they start losing to prove my point
LOL Flames = Leafs, trust me guyz...

Poorly written, clutching onto limited statistics, completely slanted piece.

This is what separates a blogger (Lambert) from a journalist (Friedman, LeBrun, etc.)
Basically a troll post with stats added for "credibility"

You can post stats and make an argument. Then there is a slam piece that makes no attempt to interpret results and see what other factors could be leading to success.

Advanced stats are like a religion - some good people believe in them and can articulate that belief and be reasonable people. But then you get a lot of ignorant people who use this "perfect" idea to back their position and screw anyone who disagrees
