That is still really weird for 469. I've seen them play a lot and prior to Atlanta, I don't think I've ever seen them miss the goal altogether (except for when they get hit as the ball falls to the ground). If their redirections don't score, it's usually the result of the chains or a lack of momentum, but they were on target to both goals at least 95% of the time during the regular season. As I watched the finals on Einstein, I was surprised to see how many were missing.
