Treliving has stated on a number of occasions that the Flames have their own data that they look at, and IIRC, CORSI wasn't one of them. I don't know how that has changed with the new hiring, but that is what I remember from the Flames.
As for advanced metrics as a whole, I do enjoy them. I prefer the eye-test myself, but I also do enjoy the advanced metrics. However, I can't speak for everyone here, but I have to roll my eyes every time I see advanced metrics proving a bias by using an incomplete set of metrics. This is where people who are deep into advanced metrics dig themselves into a big hole with the non-advanced metrics crowd I feel. It happens too often at times.
At the end of the day, as a fan, I am 90% about using the eye test since I enjoy watching players make good plays, and screaming when players make terrible plays. I don't need advanced metrics to help me enjoy watching a hockey game, but it provides more 'fun' to analyze players as a season progresses and helps me to focus on certain things within a game a bit better.
