Goalie Use

[Glenn-Philadelphia]

All,

This is just a heads-up to take note of how often you are using your goalies and what their stamina ratings are.

I was working yesterday on the goalie usage formulas and should have them wrapped up sometime this weekend. What you will see beside each goaltender is a colored button.



Each of the colors/icons will alert you as to your goalies status. With that status you will be able to determine your goaltenders fitness going into your next game.

Green Check - Fresh. Goalie has the chance to have a few extra points added to their goalie card for the game. The potential number added will a random number ranging from 0-3 (or possibly 4) based upon the goalies Big Save number.

Blue "i" - OK. Goalie is not fresh but he is not being over worked either. He will have no adjustments made to his ratings for the game

Yellow "!" - Overworked. Goalie is getting too much play and needs some games off. He will have a negative adjustment to his stats of up to 10%. He also will be at a slightly higher chance of injury

Orange "!" - Fatigued. Goalie is getting much too much play and needs some games off. He will have a negative adjustment to his stats of up to 30%. He also will be at a higher chance of injury

Red "X" - Fatigued. Goalie is spent and unable to play. He needs some games off. Goalies who reach this level will not be able to be used until their status changes to a higher status.

The following items go into determining a goalie status. The goalies stamina will be used in each of the following functions to determine game status:

Consecutive games played
% of games played as a function of total games played
Number of games played in last 30 days (rolling)
Number of games played in last 60 days (rolling)

Remember, the higher the stamina the more these players can be used. Also know that if you are riding a guy who really was a backup in the NHL last year (and his stamina is low), by using him game after game you may put his status so low that his stats are down for a game or even so low that he could be unavailable for some games.

Post any questions regarding this topic here for open discussion.

Awesome Glenn, Love it!!!

Can we also add "Games Played" or "GP" to the Goalie Stats, as it displayed on the Player Stats.

It is important to see how many games a guy is getting on an opposing team, when you are setting up rosters and when determining the opposing goalies status. Would really like to see this added.

The colored icons are only visible to the owner, right ?

[Scott-New York]

Awesome stuff...agree with phil, the opposing team would have no way of knowing how fatigued your goalie is feeling.

On a side note, any chance of ever getting goalie player cards back?

Actually I had planned to put these on the game matchup page so that owners could see if they were in danger of playing someone who was tired. In my mind, it shouldn't matter if the other owner sees this information or not. I am curious as to why do you think it should be visible to only the GM of the goalies in question? I can't think of any benefit that it would give someone.

I feel like this will be a very helpful feature.

Where did Chris get the "kissy" smile ?!!?

[Scott-New York]

No, it would be of no advantage to the other owner, was just saying that they wouldn't know if the opposing goalie was fatigued or not, but in retrospect, I suppose if they had good pro scouts, they may know after all. Maybe we should be asking Chris what affect it would have on his line-up if my goalie is a little tired...his record is a lot better than mine.

[Brian-Cleveland]

I think you should sticky this so I know what color means what.

Glenn,

I was wondering about the new Goalie Status thingy...

If our goalies are facing a light workload in a game ( 20-24 shots for ex would be considered light by todays standards Im thinking ) does their Status Rating get affected less than a goalie who had to work OT or face 30 or so shots?

Just wondering....

IMO this is one of the main reasons Brodeur was able to play so many games per season....he had a defense in front of him that didnt allow many shots thru, and most of the them were from horrible angles...Not saying he was horrible, but he MAY be the beneficiary of one of the best defensive schemes in modern day hockey....if you like watching paint dry!

I might consider factoring business for goaltenders at some point as well however for the time being, it is games played.

Shouldn't goalies stamina also depend on how many days off they have in between games?

That makes sense to me. Even if a goalie plays a lot...if the team has a four or five day break between games he should be refreshed.

Hmmm, I just had a four day lay off, and my goalie status did not replenish....I would think that this rest period would help to improve his "status".
