I think if you are going to forward an assertion like this, then the impetus is upon you to show some evidence to support it.

I guess I'm just not a fan of fancy stats. Scoring a goal is a combination of many random things. Yes getting chances is better than not getting them, but in the end only a fraction of chances get converted to goals. This is why I don't quite fully buy in to Bingos prognosis.
I firmly disagree that just outchancing teams is a measurement of success for coaches. Winning is. But of course if you coach a team with weak players you have to look at other things. Good structure, consistency, effort and most important continuous improvement.
So we may disagree where this team should be in the standings but should agree that this team has no identity, has no consistency or structure, is not improving and effort is spotty at best.
And then there is the special teams. And that's mostly on coaches as they are the ones playing guys with no hope of scoring on the top PP unit.
