In other words, if that's your theory of how X team is winning, you can make a pretty good analytics-based argument for it.

NO, you don't necessarily have a low CA.
When they simply fire a wrister from the blueline in, after you have had puck possession but no shot for a 45 second shift, they get their useless corsi event for.
Analytics are excellent - but the measures aren't corsi or fenwick or PDO.
And it is foolish to suggest they are.
When advanced analytics are actually measured in some valuable way, they will be very useful.
