So Bowns has played Sheffield, Nottingham and Belfast twice already and Regan has played Edinburgh, Dundee, Coventry & Sheffield... There is bound to be a measureable difference between the two leagues but I'm sure the two games against you will allow him to bring his % up 
In his last 4 games he has conceeded 3 goals.
Bowns has also played Braehead and Coventry and we won both those games... Does it really matter that we conceded 7goals in those games!? Look there's no doubting that Regan is a useful netminder (albeit playing in the slightly easier conference), Amazepux just seems to think this is a Fife Forum where we're all going to jump on the 'we love Regan' bandwagon! Bowns is holding his own as a Young British Netminder and I'd take the extra Import Outskater any day.
3 in one game, what about Regan versus Sheffield? 13 in two games to Bowns' 5 in two games! Ok, ok... So you have an amazing Netminder!!! One who's managed to backstop you to 9th Position in the League as things stand! Play the stats card later on in the season when we have a true reflection of things.
I would expect Regan to have better stats than Bowns regardless of when in the season they are compared.
Reagan is an experienced import goalie whilst Bowns is a young Brit goalie still learning his trade. However what Bowns allows in terms of the extra import skater whilst still being good enough to win us games is immeasurable.

I tend to share the same opinion as you DevilDom but that wasn't the case last season! I know Bowns had the benefit of an extra season in the EIHL with Hull but in a team that finished 1place below Fife... Bowns managed to post .907% in 59Games to Regan's .900% in 54Games.
I'm aware there's nothing between them but I reckon once Bowns settles fully into the new team, in the tougher Conference he'll be able to match Regan's stats at worst!

...And Bowns had 2226 sog compared with Regan's 1682, so 554 (or 25%) extra chances for goals to be scored. Hard to compare netminders from stats alone there are too many variables. All goalies will have good and bad games. All you can hope for is that your's gives you a chance to win in as many games as possible. It's tough being a Brit nettie in the EIHL, not many make it. Ben is 23, it's said nms don't reach their peak until 25/26. So far the lad's doing ok IMHO

Im not sure what ur point is here..
Fife have played Steelers x2 Blaze x 2 and Giants..the NM Stats are for all games..On what ive seen of Bowns he is a competent NM nothing more nothing less. He may still mprove. Obviously ive seen Regan perform regularly... in him I see a matchwinner making ungettable saves week in week out.
