This is why I have such a huge problem with "advanced stats." We lost our best game of the season (according to the bars and lines) 7-5, and one of our best games 9-1, yet we won our two absolute worst games of the season (again, bars and lines) by a 7-1 combined goal differential.

You shouldn't.
Calgary trailed the whole Vancouver game so they ran up the metrics chasing a game.
The Penguins led by a huge margin and pretty much mailed it in after the first few minutes in the second.
The Ranger game was exactly as the stats read above ... the Flames were dominated but saved by Rittich.
The Nashville win had a lot of shots put towards Smith, remember the Forsberg quote after two periods about "sure lots of shots, but I think I could have saved them all"
