Unsurprisingly, Tyler Seguin doesn't understand analytics, what they are, what they tell us and how they're used.
Which is totally fine. He's a professional athlete, nobody's expecting him to be smart. Hell half the fun of this whole thing is to do some dumb bragging after a win. Tweet away and have fun, Tyler.
why is this guy tweeting instead of being focused on winning the cup?
oh i know why, same reason why he got traded..
He's not . That was an answer to a dumb question in the postgame availability .
You said it all much better than I could have. Paper tigers and poof.Statistics are meant to help complement, support or explain on-ice information. They are a supporting tool. Unfortunately, many people abuse them as the single source of an argument. Statistics without proper context and conferral with on-ice results are useless. This is why arbitrary stupid statements like "the numbers don't lie" is an ignorant approach to statistical usages.
someone asked him a post-game question about analytics?

Yes and also goal differential.
For all the talk about analytics and Seguin’s playoff stats, he might have had the single most important play of DAL’ playoff run
