Interesting metric.

Assuming this is done in a spreadsheet, could you try doing an analysis of teams which have been conference finalists vs average? I think there could be some potential with this value, but we'd need more teams to determine if there's a huge impact to success. All that we can say here is that the Flames have a mean around 2 or so, the Oilers probably closer to 1.7, and the Blackhawks around the same as the Flames, but maybe a bit more evenly distributed

Also, I imagine there is some subjectivity in this stat. Unlike like shots on goal, points, or Corsi stats, the value of hits, giveaways, and takeaways are up to the recorder as to what qualifies as one.
