As for the Flames right now, I frequently hear GG and Treliving say things that suggest they are looking at corsi/possession theory.
I have definitely heard that they are looking at possession as being critical (and that was a point that Treliving raised when Hartley was dismissed), but I do remember his speaking about CORSI and stating that they don't use CORSI in their metrics, and instead utilize something that is more accurate. Is this a recent change, or was Treliving just being coy? I wish I could find his quote, but I am pretty sure it came from a Fan960 interview a couple of seasons back. Not questioning you, just asking for some clarification.
