- Only 5 of the top 10 "corsi" teams made the playoffs this year.
- 3 of the bottom 10 made it.
- The Presidents Trophy winner NYR finished 19th.

This being the analytics movements big break out year into the mainstream was pretty much a catastrophic fail.

Its a useful stat, but it's just another stat to add to the line. There is nothing special or predictive about it over and above stats we have already had for years and people that use it exclusively as a measure of how good a team is are foolish.
