I’m not sure you do understand why people use them. Someone said that the Flames played more in the defensive zone which is why Miro started more there, and the month-to-month stats were referenced to show that wasn’t true.
That’s it. Not some measure of Miro. Not some broad statement or argument. Literally just showing the truth of what actually happened.
I find it pretty bizarre when posters have such a hard rejection of “advanced” stats that they don’t even like them being used to show what happened without any extra commentary. It’s like people want hockey to stay dumb.
