Yes I have never missed a game for any reason.
The only ####ing stat that matters to me or should for any one for that matter is the score at the end. That anylitic stuff is great for the team's management but for a fan it means dick all. All I wanna see is a W.

Speak for yourself. There are many fans who are interested in trying to find out how teams perform at a deeper level, because in the age of parity many individual games are decided by luck. Only over many games will you see results in terms of wins and losses that accurately reflect the real quality of a team, so it's a lot easier to gauge which teams are actually good or bad by looking at stats that show which team carries the play and which teams are, for the time being, just lucky (or hot if you prefer to call it that).
Edit: When I say "deeper level" it sounds like it's something super advanced, but most of the time these charts, numbers and heat maps are just showing basic concepts like shot attempts for/against and high danger scoring chances. It's not actually "advanced" and there's certainly nothing analytical about most of the common so-called "advanced stats".
