Function of statistics
I think (the bolded part) is a great summary:
As former NHL head (and current assistant) coach Craig Ramsay put it in an interview with the Journal’s David Staples, “your perception of what you thought you saw [watching live] is often quite off.” There, Ramsay was talking about the importance of video review to understand what actually happens in a game; statistics serve much the same function [of video review] but in a different way. And as they’re incorporated further into mainstream hockey coverage, that coverage will more accurately reflect what’s actually happening on the ice.
