Has Looney's upgraded their face off game? Last year they lost practically every face off but kept their games close. If they had gone 50/50 or even 40/60 on faceoffs their win/loss record probably would have .500.
I’d bet they would have been well over .500. Didn’t they lose something like 8 1 goal games?
Niether of you understand metrics, statistics, or correlational relationships. There is no direct, significant statistical correlation between FOW% and game winning %. The only statistic that is proven to show significant statistical correlation to game winning % is outscoring the opponent.
They also presume that a faceoff win leads to an offensive scoring opportunity (getting the ball in the box), which discounts a turnover which occurs before the team who wins the faceoff is able to get the ball into the box for a scoring possession.
