If I could only bring one thing to a desert island it would be a good knife.

or as Tim Murray said last week on Buffalo radio, Corsi is for people that don't understand the game.
Jim Corsi is a part of Buffalo's coaching staff and I doubt Murray would throw the system he partly invented and gave his name to under the bus like that. That would be quite rude.
To me it came off as a bit elitist because he didn't bother to explain what he understood as "hockey sense" and it seems to me like one of those clichéd and hazily defined buzzwords that advanced stat advocates can't stand.
Its "....ki-yay" for the record.
To contextualise it a bit further: he basically said that Corsi has its uses and is somewhat helpful to understanding puck possession but is too often held up as the be all-end all by people who don't truly understand what "hockey sense" is.

I think most people understand that Corsi is a complementary statistic to aid in evaluation not replace it.
Depends on which people you are talking about. Although everyone who uses corsi and other types of stats knows and understand their limits to some degree, whenever someone says "this is the best indicator" or "this is the best...(whatever)" it is easy to get the impression that they believe anyone who looks at other factors first, or sees other factors as being more important, is getting it wrong. Although TM is gruff, he is 100% correct in what he said.
In my defence, I've never watched Die Hard with the subtitles on, so it's an easy mistake to make.

That makes much more sense, although I still think it is border-line rude against what is basically the legacy of good ol'Jim Corsi.
