This is not the case. Over time, goal differential approaches possession in terms of predictive value, but to say goal differential is better and possession stats are "not even close" will require that you provide some link to somewhere where that's been demonstrated, or you could demonstrate it yourself.

So basically, you've just called everyone on CP Jenny McCarthy. Would you like ketchup for that foot?

If literally everyone on CP is dismissive of possession as a useful predictive measure (see the guy immediately above me) then they deserve it. Or, if you don't like the anti-vaccination comparison, try flat-earthers. Not even worth talking about hockey with.
