Minnesota Has The Worst Team Corsi

Earlier this week I posted the team Corsi ratings from 2011/12.  This is the difference between shots attempted (shots on goal, missed shots and blocked shots) that a team takes and their opponents take in five on five situations.  This is a strong measure of a team’s puck possession ability and is a significant repeatable portion of a team’s success or failure.  Should a team’s Corsi rating not be inline with their standing in the 2011/12 season it is quite likely that they will regress to that level in the future.

The worst team by Corsi rating last season was the Minnesota Wild.  They posted a -802 rating.  This is more than twice the second worst rating posted in the league.  The best teams posted a mid +600’s for their Corsi.  Minnesota was bad at puck possession and they were bad by a significant margin.
