It is not as simple as ricardo mentioned, but the spirit of what he is implying is not far off.
Increasing the number of low quality shot attempts, could increase Corsi but not have a meaningful impact on goals scored, which is something that actually helps win games.

Advanced stats are even worse than just SOG.... an actual SOG is the gold standard for Corsi and advanced stats!!
Blocked shots and shots that miss the net are positives for advanced stats when you make them and negative when you force the other team do them.
Standing up at the Blue line and making the other team dump it close to the net is a bad thing in advanced stats world.
Testing out the other teams goalie with a shot from outside the blue line is a positive in advanced stats.... better than dumping it in the corner.
