You're like the manager of a sales team bragging about how his people are the tops in the business at timely expense report submission. Ok, sure, but no matter how many independent reports show that this correlates with moving product, it matters not at all if the team doesn't actually sell anything.
PS: Calling stats compiled by eye and interpreted by fallible human beings "objective" is droll.

Where did I call them a top team in the league though? If you're going to hang a bias on someone I think you need to use something I actually said.
There was a long running discussion about systems over the summer and just before it with the principal argument that they were a team that shot from everywhere and high high corsi but no real scoring chances.
New information came out that said they had a higher split with shots deemed high and medium danger than they did low.
This was my summation ... period.

All in all ... a team with bad finishers and or bad luck, but they were out playing the opposition.

So not sure why you took it so personally. I didn't throw Gultuzan a life line. I didn't say they were a top team.
You just went there on your own.
So no I'm not pumping up my sales staff, in fact I even suggested on numerous times they had trouble finishing (would equally terrible in sales).
And they're objective because they're not Saddledome staff, or Flames fans compiling the stats. They look at every team with the same amount of tabulation and do it league wide.

Doesn't mention fallible or infallible. They're human but they're not biased.
