It was a direct reply to a statement that “generating high shot volume is bad” which is unquestionably false. Most successful teams generate lots of shots, it’s good to generate shots, it always has been and it’s not some advanced stat.
More shots than the other team is a good outcome and has been forever.

I think a lot of people are taking this tone at this point because they're sick of seeing the shot/corsi argument. Teams are different, shots are different and the situations leading up to those shots are different.
Those stats are meaningless in the case of
this team. Who cares that successful teams also had high shots? Serving up 20 extra low danger muffins a game doesn't do a whole lot for success, clearly.
