Because let me point out that obvious: your argument would be exactly the same no matter how good or bad the Jets were at scoring and not getting scored on. Goals literally have no place in your argument in how good or bad a team is 5-on-5 which is ridiculous.

Also, you keep repeating that it's all about Hellebuyck, which is objectively clearly just false, because once again the Jets also score goals at a decent pace, and again it's an argument only someone who literally ignores goals could make.

Shots are secondary data. Goals and points are primary data. There's nothing deep about what you're doing, because you're not combining information. You're just ignoring goals in favor of shots and jumping to hyperbolic conclusions.
Are you saying you've never seen a game where a team wins despite being badly outplayed for the entire time but saved by their goaltender and perhaps a couple lucky bounces? Like that's just not a thing? if you score more goals you were the better team? that's the most shallow way to look at stats.
