Perfect example of why Corsi isn't reliable to rate players. Every player on the ice there for the Flyers will receive 1 shot against for their Corsi negative. When not one player was at fault for that bounce. As much as 40% of the data is from false positives and negatives.

Now when Coburn missed a wide open player, and an unforced icing resulted in a defensive draw, and zone time against. Did the other players deserve the corsi negatives that were the result because Coburn iced the puck unnecessarily?
perfect examples of why Corsi is unreliable to rate players, and why you have to watch the game.

He's been outstanding.

Such a prototypical Hartnell penalty. Its like he decided he was going to trip that guy the second he began skating towards him

If you notice, he and Vinny end up in the same spot on the ice quite often.

Been watching peripherally the last few games, so I hadn't noticed a trend there. That's not good.

The stats are usually viewed after they've formed a large sample size. Statisticians feel it takes about 50 games for 'bad bounces' and bad luck to even out.
- PhillySportsGuy


Even then they don't always even out. It's why good players on bad teams have bad numbers. It works both ways. Players also are beneficiaries of false data.

This is the kind of stuff that has to stop. His teammates need to get in his face. It was incredibly stupid.

Bahh not a penalty. Players need to protect themselves.

No professional hockey player positions himself like Schenn did on that play 5 years ago.

It's like watching a 10 year old play call of duty.
