And... who exactly said otherwise?

The way Granteed is using these stats are absolutely horrendous.

No, the fact that I'm using them
at all is what you find absolutely horrendous.

Especially since there are so many exceptions to what he quantifies as a playoff team.

You don't quantify a "playoff team". You're either a playoff team or you're not a playoff team. The Avs are a playoff team. The Flames were a playoff team last year.
I'm qualifying that there are playoff teams that rely excessively on elite goaltending, and I don't personally want to build a team that relies excessively on elite goaltending.
I'm quantifying that there are a few criteria I put together, of which eleven teams currently satisfy the criteria, and ten of those eleven are in a playoff spot right now, and the one that isn't probably won't satisfy the power play stat a month from now anyways and also doesn't have their starting goaltender.
Not sure what's so hard about that. The only reason it's been so aggressively attacked is because the words "corsi" and "fenwick" were in it and people want their soapbox to complain about something they can choose to ignore.
