Looking at the advanced metrics to give insight into the Cats-Isles match-up
During the course of this season I have spent some time being mighty critical of some pundits in the hockey press who jumped to early conclusions based on a very limited number of advanced statistical categories. What I am referring to, of course, are those who jumped to the conclusion that the Florida Panthers were a flash in the pan based on poor shot-differential results, reflected in Corsi. My response has always been that, while useful, Corsi is something that (in today's NHL) must be used in conjunction with a number of other metrics and observations to truly reflect a team's success and failure.
