What is Corsi in hockey?
Every time a team tries a shot, whether it’s on goal, misses the net or gets blocked, it’s a sign it has the puck in the other team’s end. Shot share is the part of all those tries that one team took, at 5-on-5. For a player, it counts only the time he’s on the ice. NHL.com’s SAT% also counts shots blocked by the shooter’s own teammate, apparently as attempts for the other team; we leave them out, so the two usually differ by a few tenths and now and then by about a point.

Example: 56.1 means his team took 56.1% of the attempts while he played: more than its opponents.
Counts: 5-on-5 only
CF · Shot attempts
Every shot a team tried, whether it was on goal, missed the net or got blocked. A team can only try shots when it has the puck in the other team’s end, so lots of attempts usually means it spent lots of time there.
