A lot of people on CP – I think you may have been one of them; I would have to go over a lot of posting history to be sure, but if this doesn't apply to you, great – a lot of people watched, analysed what they saw, came to a conclusion some time in October or November, and then only saw the things that supported that conclusion. Which is worse than not watching the games at all.

If you watched the games and didn't keep count of the scoring chances, you only have an impression of what you saw. Impressions are not analysis. That's why people keep statistics in the first place: so we can check our impressions against the data, and not merely go on looking for things that confirm the impressions we have already formed.
