Not misguided at all. Considering the opening lines I think it's a direct response to the annoying analytic fanboys who flood his twitter after the Flames win.

Winning games they have no business winning. If there's a theme to this season, that's been it and it's a quality that is driving the advanced stats extremists crazy.
I know this because immediately after Flames wins -- like clockwork, out come the line graphs from the analytics folks, insistently pointing out the opposition line and how it's way up there and the Flames line and how it's way down there. Calgary should not have won that game, this grid proves it.
