If you want to
predict how the rest of the season will go, you couldn't be more incorrect. At
every point in the season, corsi and expected goals are more useful than goals, in terms of predicting future goals. And future goals lead directly to future wins, and future points. Anybody with a brain can go to NHL.com and sort by points, and it would be ridiculous to assume the rest of the year will go exactly as the first quarter has gone. The interesting question is: based on the first 16 games, how will the remaining 66 go?
On-topic: I think Gulutzan provokes more frustration (I'm definitely guilty of it as well), because his mistakes seem so glaringly obvious. Hartley's teams didn't have a great system - but I don't have an obvious answer for what I would change. Gulutzan puts Bartkowski out with the 4th line late in the 3rd against the other team's top line - that's so blatant it gets me yelling at my TV.
