The stat illuminates something that's been happening on the ice. Why would you just brush it off and say "no, that never happened" when that's all the facts are saying. Does everything need context? Maybe, but sometimes stats can tell things that completely disagree with what "we believe". That's what cognitive bias is.

Ok, well then I guess Pietrangelo is worse defensively then Phaneuf. That's that. The stats don't lie.
