Are not all of these advanced stats predicated on the assumption that whoever has the most shots in a game is the better team?
I've never heard an argument on quality of shots, which is not really being measured yet.
I like advanced stats a lot actually, but they are in their infant stage in hockey and have a long way to go. it would help their cause if they admitted that the current state of hockey analytics is very imperfect, and did so without getting super aggressive against anyone or any team who doesn't fit their world view.
