Taking a look at this site Bingo likes, I checked out the HDCF% last year. I assume this is High Danger Corsi %. This stat did better than the 5v5 Corsi in my last post, as 10 of the top 16 teams made the playoffs. That's still not a great correlation, but it's slightly better. However, consider this. The WORST team in the leage at HDCF%? The Washington Capitals. Yeah, if the Stanley Cup champ is the worst in the league at this, then clearly it's value is highly suspect.
