Which numbers are you looking at? EW’s non-Patreon #s don’t capture much. Naturalstattrick has the most for free. Looking at the last two years, Toews and Strome have identical deployment. And all the #s have Toews pretty decently better at even strength:So to clarify my thoughts from another thread:
Eye test: Toews>Strome by a lot, it's not close
Numbers: Toews is just a bit better than Strome

How do you use hockey analytics, when it's very contradictory from the eye test?
Do you throw out the numbers and ignore them?
I'm kind of confused. Analytics are supposed to be an objective measure of the game, so when it's contradictory like this, which side do you lean on?
I tend to like things quantified, so if hockey cannot ever be completely quantified I'm a bit confused on how to use this stuff.
