Judged event?
Corsi is the tabulation of all shot attempts by both teams when said player is on the ice. (on net, in the net, blocked, shot wide)
It isn't someone deciding what a shot attempt is or isn't any more than a person is deciding what a shot on goal is.
So it means when Wideman and Russell were on the ice they were getting almost 60% of shot attempts coming at them.
I honestly hate the notion that a spreadsheet is a better judge of a hockey player than what I see, but it's hard to argue against shot attempts.
