I guess I shouldn't speak for others, but it's really interesting and exciting that advanced stats are in their infancy in hockey, so I like to pop into any discussion and mostly read along to see where advanced stats go.

But wouldn't you say recent games have past the eye test?
Starting against Washington the Flames high danger against stats say they are giving up less ... I think I saw that on the ice.
Last night they had a terrible second period and gave up 8 in those 20 minutes alone ... which I was fully expecting to see given what happened on the ice.
