Aligns, but doesn't indicate. Correlates to, but doesn't predict. And it never accounts for roster turnover despite analytics experts always pointing to cross-season shifts.
The 2013 Wild are pointed to as a "fluke" team. Well are they still a fluke team?
The Flames becoming a better corsi team would follow if they likely become a stronger overall team. That's not gonna be denied by anyone.
The Flames staying pat as a corsi team does not predict them out of the playoffs next year. Specifically, it can't predict their shooting percentage to "regress".
Analytics are excellent until they're treated as predictors. That's why we can't stand people using Analytics as predictors of success.
