It's worth noting that our fancy-stats are improving.

In our last 6 games, our 5v5 Fenwick Close is 49.53%, the actual +/- of events is only a -2. We've been playing teams even in posession during the important times of the game for the last 6 games.

Over the previous 6 games, in the same situation, our Fenwick was 47.74% with an actual +/- of -13.

Over our first 10 games of the season, our 5v5 Fenwick Close was 43.48% with an actual +/- of -45.

While a cumulative look at our posession stats would probably indicate a lack of sustainability, a more granular look shows overall improvement in the numbers, which gives me hope that we can continue to have the kind of success we've been having. Though, very simply, if we keep spotting 2-goal leads, we're going to lose more than we win.
