(That said, since it wouldn't be THAT much work, if corsi is indeed a relevant indicator of who wins a playoff series, that information should already be available in the internet somewhere.)

I think if you go back though you won't see me making an argument for Calgary beating Edmonton, or really a prediction of any kind.
And it wasn't corsi at all ... it was xGF% which takes into account a lot more than just shot attempts.
Ricardo kept talking about how well the Jets have played, and I'm just pointing out that their underlying numbers suggest they're riding a hot goaltender and high finish rates.
He brought up LA which had me show they are the only team in the top X teams that are still playing.
The rest was your rabbit hole.
