Not surprising that fans of a team that isn't favoured by the methodology would look for reasons to disregard it, but there it is nonetheless. Take it or leave it. Personally I try to remain objective about these things.

I don't doubt you try to remain objective in your feelings towards teams, but it's obvious you're not objective in which stats to weight in your model, with a bias towards the shiny new stats because well they're shiny and new and all the cool kids use it.
For example, goal differential has a much stronger correlation with success then corsi/fenwick/pdo, yet i strongly doubt in your model that it carries as much if any significance in your predictions.7
By your own website a top 10 corsi team still misses the playoffs 20% of the time. a top 10 team in goal differential?? Way less.
