Are they the anti-Leafs? The Leafs before Bernier went down were a decent playoff team despite terrible possession numbers. The Devils aren't that great of a team but have fantastic possession numbers. The Devils are what I believe is called a "low event" team (got that from the Rangers board). 1st in shots against and 30th in shots for. They remind me of the NY Knicks that would proverbially take the air out of the ball in the late 90s early 00s. They'd just milk the shot clock and turn every game into a defensive battle. Is a team like this rather than a team that shoots a lot but gives up a decent amount of shots against (Rangers for example- 3rd in shots for 13th in shots against), in other words a high event team, just as likely to succeed? Or is it a sort of loophole and a team that seems to use possession as a defensive strategy doesn't correlate with winning as much?
