I'd expect there to be a correlation between underwater Corsis and a high "RGI" (if the methodology was perfect). It's biased against strong possession teams and players. If you have the puck in the other teams zone all game you're not going to get any blocked shots or hits or takeaways, and you're probably going to end up giving the puck away once in a while. The Tim Jackmans of the world, meanwhile, can rack up hits and blocked shots all they want while the other team beats the pants off them. If we fixed the methodology of this stat (use away stats only, only ES numbers) I'd expect it to have a small correlation with losing.
