So many variables and circumstances in a very fluid game cannot be boiled down to simple, static, black and white analysis.

Its why fancy stats are bogus. The methodology is not consistent and very open to interpretation when collecting data. It is not like baseball where events have a 1-to-1 or binary relationship. There is too much chaos and too much variation in hockey for these "advanced stats" to have much meaning. Gitta remember, they were dreamed up by Oiler fans to try and justify how good their players were when they were at the bottom of the pile! AS=NG!
