Yes teams that outshoot, out poses and outchance their opponents win. But what you dont understand is how and why thats happening. You also left out a critical part of the teams that win in the playoffs. They get to the middle of the ice, they get sticks on pucks defensively and offensively, they win one on on battles. Your calculations dont show the entire story, you actually have to know what you are watching to truly evaluate. You have shown absolutely nothing in your arguments that you know what you are watching. Its cherry picked advanced analytics. If that was the be all and end all why has New Jersey had such little success. Have you been following hockey long enough to watch the team you cheer for in the 90's and early 2000's? I truly would be shocked if you said yes as those teams won games exactly how I am describing but the concept is so foreign to you.
Didnt say the bolded again another pathetic claim. I said he makes space for himself with his stick, if you dont know what that means either just please exit the discussion.
You have twisted your definitions so far up your own ass you don't even know what you are saying.
First it was:
you need to be more physical
then it's not actually physicality but stickwork.
Then it's f***ing gap control and defensive positioning lmaoo.
You're getting closer and closer to the point. YOU DON'T NEED TO HIT PEOPLE TO BE EFFECTIVE AT CONTROLLING THE PUCK AND THE PLAY.
Teams have won in many many different ways. With speed, with size, with shooting, with defensive positioning, etc.
It doesn't matter HOW you dominate play. it matters IF you dominate play.
And Jack Hughes, Nico Hischier, and Jesper Bratt dominate play. Just like Kucherov, Point, and Stamkos. Just like Eichel, Stone, and Marchessault. Just like Mackinnon, Rantanen, and Makar.
