But please, do not in any way shape or form, conclude that I am attacking you or your article and what it brings to discussion, which, as I said, I very much appreciate.

All good man, no worries at all.
And I hope you guys don't think that I run numbers and then call it a guarantee of future success. They're not.
a) the team may never become more than a good underlying team, it happens. There are always outliers, the Flames in 14/15 were one of them.
b) the team may stop playing this way tomorrow and never win a game again. Just because you've outchanced teams for 30 games it doesn't mean it will continue.
I do think it's a pretty good indicator that systems are working and the team is playing well though. But it could never be a guarantee
