Absolutely.
Just talking from a purely statistical standpoint. You can introduce bias to any data, and therefore render skewed results.
The Oilers had an organizational goal to increase 'possession numbers'. They hired Dellow. The players themselves have talked about wanting to improve possession.
So you create the data point events, and not the other way around. They prove you can artificially raise possession numbers while playing no good.
