What the two axes are
Shooting %. Goals per shot on goal. Over one season much of the gap between clubs is luck, not finishing skill.
Ability to win. Recent win rate with newer games weighted more and every overtime or shootout game counted as a tie.
A lower-is-better measure is drawn with its axis flipped, so the best clubs are always up and to the right. The dashed lines are the league median; r is how closely the two measures move together across the 32 clubs. Methodology →
