(Chuckle). Ok.
I’m fine trying to work with these guys and admit I have a bias ... it is “informed” by science and logic, I suppose.
My bias is basically having a firm belief that, statistics be damned, there are some shots a goalie (any goalie) can’t physically react to in time to adjust their position to stop. The numbers check out.
When a fast enough shot is taken from sufficiently close, and it is directed at open net available around the outline goalie, it is going in. Physics dictate that it is so.
Something seems very hard for some people to understand. Either that there are such shots, or that there were more such shots one game specifically than is statistically usual, and is mystifying as to why.
Maybe we have a poster called ScienceCritic or StatisticsCritic somewhere that can accept it without resorting to silly accusations of bias
