The Choker (2020) Starring Aleister Cain - SlashACM - 03-03-2020

(240 words)
I am under the firm belief that NO ONE in this entire league has let their team down more than Cainer. Let's look at some numbers.

NOLA has 7 seasons in the books, 7 post-seasons. That's pretty cool. Of those 7 postseasons, 5 of them ended in a pivotal game 7. Cain has had some ups and downs in the playoffs but overall his save percentage numbers aren't bad:

S46- .904
S47- .897
s48- .912
S49- .893
S50- .879
S51- .895
S52- .919

Career average- .899

It's not amazing but by SHL standards it's not an absolute sieve. some tough series like s50 against the dragons absolutely tanked his save percentage.

Now, just for fun, lets look at Game 7 save percentages:

S46 game 7- .865
S47 game 7- .871
S48 game 7- .839
S49 game 7- .889
S50- lost in 4
S51- lost in 5
S52 game 7- .857

Game 7 average- .864

Ouch. So when the team needs him most, when everything they have fought for is on the line, Cain drops more than .3 in save percentage. At what point can the fingers be solely pointed at him for choking away great seasons from a dominant expansion team? I'd start at s46. If this performance is not corrected Cain will retire with exactly 0 cups, and likely no individual awards either, but that's an article for another day.
