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".

When I said I don't get it , I might have been using hyperbole. I get it but I don't see why it is a big deal now.
In the end the Flames could lose 10 in a row but be dominant through out the game per anylitics. In the end all that matters is if you het the w or l.
