The problem is that people see the word danger and naturally think that implies a shot is dangerous.
And we all know that a cross crease tap in is more literally dangerous than a guy banging the puck against a goalie’s pad from 2 inches away.
But counting stats models consider both to be ‘high danger’
That is a fundamental weakness of counting stats and the conclusions people try to draw from them.
