you don't need a "sample size" to say they lead in 6 of the 7 games...cause you can't skew those facts

Cool with me though, walk down Spector lane with the Oilers will be measured by a conference final birth or the season is a failure. The best of the unwashed will incorporate some of this stuff though, as it's a pretty good barometer to actually what went down in the playoffs. Sample size is two playoff rounds, and if you're routinely getting out shot, out chanced and hemmed in playoff game after playoff game then what you really have is a hot goaltender and not "the run" as it's been coined in Edmonton.
Your call though.

no its not....Minny, despite having the best "fancy" stats according to your post, got bounced in 5 games in the first round
the Pens and Sens has some of the worst "fancy stats" in the playoffs yet were Conference Finalists
heck, even the Preds and Ducks only show up in the top 5 3times total yet they met in the Conference Finals
again, the only thing these stats show is how wildly unpredictable the playoffs can be
