And yet he led the team with a +18
Obviously, +/- is not the be all, end all stat. But neither is Corsi.
For all the people that whine about his advanced stats, I would like to hear one person make sense of his +18.
Again, he led the team.
Either he is the single luckiest player ever to lace up their skates, or there is something missing between the Corsi numbers and the +/-
Also, as someone else mentioned, he had good possession numbers in Columbus. Did he suddenly forget how to possess the puck and play the hockey? Or are there other things going on that maybe the Corsi numbers aren't catching?
