The stats have value, in limited measure. McCurdy obviously thinks they explain everything.

It is patently obvious that a possession based prediction tool will not favour the Flames, so your faux outrage and hyperbole over such a prediction tool is disingenuous and literally adds nothing of value to the conversation.
Honestly, you are really just behaving as a perfect mirror of the extreme spreadsheet guys. You're both really just saying "stop liking things I don't." And just like the analytics guys need to realize that exceptions exist for reasons other than luck, you need to realize the model is currently showing seven of eight playoff teams correctly and has the top six in proper order of standings.
One thing that should be noted is that even under this model, our odds of qualifying have gone up 150% in the past two to three weeks.
