I guess I don’t feel it’s necessary to make a case as to why plus minus is useless because it has seemingly been a closed case for years now. I mean you can go ahead and hit that google bar and find a hundred articles detailing why it is useless. Our own Brian Burke has called plus/minus horse####. It’s even been found that the NHL miscounted the stat on a regular basis, which is your whole argument for why corsi isn’t reliable.
