I think Bingo’s approach of looking to see what the stats say and seeing if it makes sense with what is seen on the ice. They seemed to track what I saw but that is probably confirmation bias.

The NHL has already started testing technology to track various player metrics, so I'm hoping including a value judgement on the shots taken is in their pipeline. AI technology would already be able to do this now given a large enough dataset and if implemented properly, its results would only get better and better.
