I'm not talking about a game to game corsi prediction. I'm talking end of season where are the teams now type of discussion. I really dont know if were just debating 2 different things here, or, your being purposefully difficult.

Corsi is a strong predictor of where teams future success will go, but its not perfect.

This table is predicting Flames have x% chance of making the post season based on corsi.. but it's not a scroll written from god. Why this is getting some people riled up I get it, its your team, but it's just one predictor for gods sakes.
