It is an indicator. If you look at the top 10 teams in goal differential in any season, I'm going to guess they'll all be playoff teams. By doing a scan of the last 10 years, I think that might even be top 12-13 teams in goal differential. Why is this? Because the point of hockey is to score more goals than the other team each game. In my mind, it's the #1 indicator of success. It's not a result of success. Success is a result of having a positive goal differential.
