Nice comeback. You have refused to use any math or concrete examples to prove yourself. And that is because it is mathematically impossible to try and prove that shot differential and possession is not correlated to winning. And that those teams with positives on both metrics have the highest probabilities to make the playoffs. It’s not even an argument and you’ve accidentally backed yourself in to a corner.
The article I posted does not back up your claims. It actually argues against them. You SPECIFICALLY said nothing is random on the ice, which is in contradiction with a SPECIFIC statistical law.
Anyways...best of luck to you. I’m sure the next time we chat you’ll be a little less likely to make the same mistake twice.

You're completely out of context. You're not even close to my position or anything I've taken a stance on in this thread.
Here is what you don't understand. The hockey world is not a vacuum where everything is looked statistically or mathematically. Statistical law does not rule the sport. You need to get out of that world and deal with the actual essence of the game. There is no coach or player who believes that what happens on the ice in a game is random. You make the same mistakes that Tanner makes. If your focus in looking at the game and analyzing a game is completely on analytics, you're doing it wrong.
The article backs up my claims, not refutes them. You don't have a clue what my claims are. Nice try on your part but an epic failure. I look not at the science of analytics or statistics but at the real life application and usage of them and how they apply to a sport. That is something that you obviously don't have a clue about.
