Just so flawed. But it was explained to me that it was better this way because it removed a human bias. It's as if they were created as ammunition for message board discussions. No coach would ever give them any credence. They are just completely useless.
As for the attempted shots quoted last night. How can one accurately tell what a player is attempting to do? A player can have a puck on his stick and "think" shot a few times in any given sequence. He could head fake, shoot a slap pass, change his mind because of traffic, goalie being set etc.
I've been harping on advanced stats since they were used to show that Conklin was better than Brodeur. Years later we have a lot more of them and they seem to get more and more useless.
