So no, they don't lack finish. Results are what matters.
Goals scored above expected takes into account their high shot quality and volume.

They score a decent number of goals because they take a *ton* of high-quality shots. But they should be scoring way, way more, based on the quality of shots they've taken.

Also, holy ####, that goal by Lindholm.
