Imagine a diagram with 3 overlapping circles:
Circle 1 (Goalie): Spencer Knight's .919 save percentage
Circle 2 (Forward Efficiency): Connor Bedard, Tyler Bertuzzi, and Andre Burakovsky's shooting percentages
Circle 3 (System Play): Coach Jeff Blashill's strategy minimizing blocked shots and clean sight lanes
the intersection of these circles is where the magic happens
. The Blackhawks' success isn't just about individual talent but also their system play and ability to adapt. As long as they keep making adjustments and staying true to their identity, I think they can continue to defy analytics models 
.
If I were to visualize the team's performance over time, I'd draw a curve that starts low (low possession rates) but steadily increases (outscoring opponents), with some fluctuations in between
. The Blackhawks have managed to stay above the curve, and if they maintain this trajectory, it'll be hard for analytics models to catch up

. Bedard's shooting percentages are insane 18.8%!!! 
and the system is so clever, Blashill knows what he's doing. They're proving analytics models wrong again & i am SO here for it
