Do shot blocks not count as shot suppression?
And if they do, how is Russell not better as hes been the NHL leader in shot blocks for the last 2 years, by a country mile, himself?

Pretty sure shot suppression factors in shot attempts. Shots that are blocked are still shot attempts, so they count, and seeing as how Russell has been the league leader in shot blocks over the last two years, he's seen more shot attempts than a ton of players. That would sink his shot suppression stats.
