And yes, IMNSHO, he tried to play for Corsi. And much of what you and Bingo would attempt to pass off as LOFT or bad luck in terms of why our shots missed the net so much, regardless of where on the ice they were taken from, it was because we were usually playing against a set defence that gave us nothing but low visibility shots.

You're moving the goalposts. The argument, then and now, was that Gulutzan was an awful coach and needed to be fired. The "deep dive", then and now, is an attempt to reframe the argument away from things that everybody could see on the ice but is not visible on a spreadsheet.

Bingo was attempting to argue that Gulutzan was a good coach. Despite the fact that we were floundering week after week under him and his plodding, rigid style.
Neither of those statements are true.

It didn't sit well with me to have a team in the top three to five in the league in a lot of counting measures that suggested they were carrying the play but had anything but that happen in the results.

When two things don't add up, I'm all over digging into why. I listened to arguments about trying to out Corsi people, and being perimeter teams and went back to the drawing board to find better and different information that showed they were getting shots from high danger areas.

When some suggested that the shots in the high danger areas were too set I admitted that there was no way to prove that pro or against and there could be something to that.

In the quotes above that someone posted it even has me saying Gulutzan should be fired right before he actually was.

This is why it was such an odd thing for people to be pissed at and lose it over.
