Since some of you guys seem to be talking up corsi (and now even Foxy), I decided to do some legwork (and I hate legwork). From limited time in doing research, I've found that corsi can be a useful tool. And in fact, if you look at the past 6 yrs since its inception in 2007-8 season, just looking at the CF% which is basically a plus/minus for shots on goal+shots missed+blocked shots, 4 out of past 6 years, a team ranked in the top 4 in CF% has won the stanley cup.
2007-2008 Det 58.7% (ranked 1st)
2008-2009 Pit 48.1% (ranked 19th)
2009-2010 Chi 56.55 (ranked 1st)
2010-2011 Bos 50.7% (ranked 14th)
2011-2012 LA 54.8% (ranked 2nd)
2012-2013 Chi 54.1% (ranked 4th)

What I don't understand is how corsi can or is being used to determine each individual player ( i.e. Muzzin) when there are so many variables that can come into play. So, if someone is a corsi expert or even just a casual corsirian, feel free to chime in and educate.
