One throwaway sentence with no backing from a single article doesn't really prove anything. The Flames had a lower-than-average fraction of their shots from the perimeter last year, which suggests they were the opposite of a perimeter team.

That's a blatant misrepresentation of Bingo's point
Generally, people who are in plane crashes die or are severely injured. Sometimes, people walk away without a scratch, but that doesn't mean that the statistics around plane crashes are useless.
Generally, teams that out-corsi their opponents are successful. Sometimes, teams with strong corsi struggle, but that doesn't mean the correlation between corsi and winning is meaningless.
