Yeah no ... that's not my theory.
I mentioned some injuries sure, but the point of the post was that Sutter turned the team around and they were actually outplaying the opposition from that point on in numbers.
Vancouver and Chicago were terrible in underlying numbers ... there's not team played well but didn't get the bounces theory at all.
Vancouver
CF% 30th
xGF% 31st
HDCF% 31st
Chicago
CF% 29th
xGF% 30th
HDCF% 31st
Dallas though is a good example, they played better than their record for sure.
