Ok, seriously. These kind of comments need to end around here.
And why is it so hard to have a discussion where the merits of statistical analysis are included somewhere in the thought process? It doesn't mean that we should only look at the stats and form conclusions based on them alone, but why should we not include them at all? Why not use as much data as possible to aid our ability to understand what we're seeing on the ice? Perhaps it could show us the specific areas to improve on the team going forward. No? You say that it's entirely useless and we should focus on our gut instincts only to improve the team. Sounds like a poor idea to me. That's how we end up with the idea that this team needs more truculence.
What this team needs is more skill, all the way through the lineup. Do that and a lot of the problems go away. Give just about any coach enough skill and they will win their share of games, and then hopefully we can stop worrying if the coach is good enough.
