Here's Darren Haynes' counterpoint to the whole "the Flames have bad Corsi, so they suck" argument:
Who Cares What Analytics Say?
Quote:
Will there be a drop off in the Flames play coming up -- either later this month or next year? Probably. Will there be a lengthy losing streak as their luck evens out? Possibly.
But from a fan's perspective, isn't that even more reason to enjoy the prosperity of today. The losses are coming. Nobody thinks the rebuild is over. So you better damn well enjoy the winning.
Lamenting that the team is getting outplayed when there'e nothing you can do about it anyway just seems like a downer way to watching a hockey game. Maybe you should stick to watching movies instead -- although if you choose Rudy or Hoosiers, you might as well stick to watching the Flames games as the underdog story playing out in Calgary this season is just as good.
And while the luck will run out eventually, who is to say that doesn't happen at the same time the Flames start winning games on merit instead.
