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.

Yeah, xGF%, corsi, whatever. Shot-based stats. Garbage in, sprinkle with faulty logic, garbage out, consistently apply to too small sample sizes. Rinse, wash, repeat. Although I do find "expected goals" to be hilarious in the sense that someone actually named it that.
Sorry. That was a completely different rabbit hole. Carry on. That was just a dig, I'm not going to bother arguing the point.
