Actually, the Oilers were in the bottom couple teams in the league in Corsi/Fenwick. There was only a couple anomolies, the most significant being Colorado. Their 'possession' numbers were bad but results good. But goal differential tells you the same thing generally. With only a few exceptions there is nice correlation between goal differential and NHL overall standings. The claim is that Corsi individualizes it
Forget the cameras and just chip every player, not just the puck. Hockey is too fast for the same system to work effectively, but the concept does have interesting possibilities.
