The thought on losing the possession battle is that you're "playing with fire" letting the other team stay in your zone.

But it's also true that you're equally playing with fire setting in your opponents' zone all game and then letting them leak out on a 3 on 1 on a single play and getting burnt.

That is how the Jets seemed to play last night. I don't watch them much but I'm willing to guess:

- advanced stats people think the Jets are a top 5 team in the league
- and they're wrong

Good teams are good teams. You can see it from what you see, not from the possession stats. The Blues are a damn good team, I don't know what their possession stats look like but when you're in their zone they don't give you anything and when they're in your zone they don't depend on just sitting there all game.

You'll never see me say the Kings are not a good team. But they're not a good team only because of possession.
