Not agreeing with what somebody writes doesn’t make them a hack - that just means you have differing opinions.

Hacks are guys that make stuff up or just always toe the company line aka Francis or Staples.

Honestly it’s just clear you don’t like advanced stats (or bloggers Is my guess) but at least with Kent Wilson you know he’s also always watching the games too. And has provided damn good coverage outside of advanced stats at both Flamesnation and the athletic.

We need more coverage like Kent for the Flames and not less, at least he’s actually trying to dig into the teams issues instead of the same cliched articles and questions we get from most media.
Your opinion, and one which you are entitled too.

As I said if hack is to strong, i apologized (did you miss that?) but its what was common many years ago with writers who derived their conclusions from what some would call junk investigation. I associate Corsi and such in that way, and Im certainly allowed that perspective even if you and those who buy into it disagree. Im also allowed to voice that opinion, which is what I did in repsonse to a ridiculous assertion earlier using his "stats".

The hack thing though. you are probably right, its a different time and i need to be more aware.
