I believe he also assumes goaltending is equal among all teams, but I could be wrong.
That is to say if hypothetically Montreal and Edmonton had the same corsi, he would call them equal teams. When in reality Montreal with Price will give up one less goal every game than Edmonton with Scrivens or Fasth would. An extreme example, but a consideration.
