Also a stat that the 2-time defending Stanley Cup champions finished in the top 5 in during the last two seasons can't be all that bad to look at.

If we're going to argue by anecdote, three of the top four teams in the NHL by that stat this season are outside the playoff picture.
That said, I disagree with Enoch Root - Corsi has some value. But it has two major problems: First, it is typically presented in a way that blinds it to a full third of the game (5v5 only), and second, too many people spent a few years trying to treat it as the One True Stat. That created a natural inclination to push back against it.
