Trivia: atl 5. Olof Karsikko stands miles ahead of the league these playoffs in goals saved above average at 19.76 while Anthony Dionne is actually in the negatives at -0.90. Do you think Texas is at a major goalie disadvantage? Why or why not? I think advanced stats are a bunch of baloney so if I were a fan of the Texas Renegades I would not worry at all. If anything, I would feel good about having made it this far while under performing because eventually Anthony Dionne will progress to the mean and start playing better. A sizable chunk of his poor performance can be blamed on the defense in front of him as well. I think if the unit sorts themselves out just enough to be playing decently again, the Renegades have a strong chance to win the cup. On the flip side, Olof Karsikko has been absolutely standing on his head for the entire post season, really carrying the New England wolfpack on his back to the finals. I would be worried that he might regress to the mean and start allowing significantly more goals versus expected. This overperformance could actually end up costing New England, as they have been relying on goalie play and general defensive stoutness, but if that were to falter and the defense allows more shots and the goalie allows more goals, the could be in real trouble. Also in general, rating goalie play is overrated so I would not read too far into it. Code: 208 words S58 Elias Armia Award Winner
