Until advanced stats get beyond counting shots (and some do, although a lot of those guys have been hired by NHL teams by now) its not going anywhere. There is approximately 8 billion articles every year of people doing their own Corsi proving analysis and its beyond boring. Time to move beyond it and take the next step.

That said - yes the Flames get outplayed in a lot of games. But I rarely see a Flames goalie playing beyond a normal goalie or the Flames scoring boatloads of awful goals that should be saved.

But really - I don't care one way or another. The Flames can have the worse Corsi in the league but if the games are exciting and the team is building into something, I'm a happy fan.
