Six goals and a 69.6% save rate in an overtime loss to South Dallas Scum

The easy story from this game is the contact. The Boogeymen threw 85 hits, unusually high, and out-hit the opponent for the 2nd game in a row. Silky threw 22 hits, a career high in 6s. Raz threw 15, also a career high in 6s. None of that produced a win. South Dallas Scum won 7-6 in overtime, and the number that stands out belongs to the goalie.

Jonas Wagner made 16 saves on 23 shots. His 69.6% save percentage was a meltdown in net. The skaters did their side of the work. They put 31 shots on net, unusually high, and completed 80% of their passes, also unusually high. They out-shot the opponent, as usual, and still lost.

The scoring is real, and it gets the credit first. Raz scored 3 goals against a 6s average of 1.2 as a forward. His 5 points were big for him too. Z Wang scored 2 goals, a career high in 6s. His 4 points were a career high in 6s as well. Beev, on defence, added 3 points against an average of 0.9. Igor Orlov set up 3 goals. He also reached 300 points this title.

The hit totals are the noise here. The club threw 85 hits, and South Dallas Scum still got 23 shots on net, an unusually high count. The hits did not limit the shots, and the saves did not cover them.

The cold read is short. The skaters scored 6 and the net allowed 7. It was the 3rd loss of the night. One game at 69.6% is one game, and it is not a trend until it repeats.
