Our style of D is what I love...limit all SOG.

Not to beat this drum too much, but that's pretty much the foundation of hockey's advanced stats. Corsi is essentially plus/minus for all attempted shots, and Fenwick is the same with blocked shots not counting as shots (it helps teams that block shots, as Corsi treats it as a negative event).

Because of score effects, teams go into more of a defensive shell when winning, so a favored stat for evluating a team is FENCLOSE, or the Fenwick rating when the game is within one goal. Here are the ratings for this year.

LA, Chicago, and Boston are off the charts good, though Montreal is near the league lead, with a 53.21% edge. BTW - this is Washington's Achilles heel. They have an awful FENCLOSE. Just awful. Mainly because their 3rd and 4th lines get killed on possession. The Caps are the Florida Panthers without Ovie and Backs.
