This doesn't work though.
Say a team wanted a corsi event so they shot from center ice ... all they are doing is giving up possession and the other team brings it back at you. A game of taking muffins from distances wouldn't pad corsi because you wouldn't sustain enough time to run up totals.
I see this "fake corsi" thing from time to time but it's a fallacy.
You actually need to sustain pressure to out corsi the opposition, you can't fake it.
The Flames clearly had a territorial advantage last season but they didn't put enough pucks in the net to make it an actual advantage. Some suggest their high danger chances weren't that high danger, and I think there's something to that. But the bulk of it was setting a modern record for an NHL team shooting wide.
