The day cannot come fast enough where technology makes these 'proxies' useless. I want real time data to track actual possession, what they were talking about/testing at the ASG has me legitimately excited. This intermediary stage is just pervasive and annoying considering the how loose the link between winning and having a good corsi actually is. How people can be so arrogant and sure of such a metric that is going to be a footnote in history within 10 years is beyond me. Can't go one flipping day as a hockey fan without hearing the words corsi and fenwick, try as I might. It's good to know it won't always be this way as better methods are developed over time.
