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.

The idea is not to make it simple.... If folks understood how rudimentary advanced stats are they would understand that for hockey they should not be taken seriously... There is no magic significant correlation between a positive corsi % and team success.
After 15 games the Flames are middle of the pack Corsi team and dead last as a winning team.
Montreal is the worst corsi team in the league so far and early favorites for the presidents trophy.
