starting goalie page?

[Mike]

Just noticed if a goalie has no history the start meter defaults to 100%. Cristopher Nilstorp for Dallas.
you could maybe have an exception so that cases like that default to either 50, or whatever you think makes most sense.

Good catch, thanks. I'll build a work-around for this.

**Update: when a goalie with no NHL data plays in his first game, we will apply the league average GAA when calculating his Sit-or-Start meter value.

Damn Lundy is at 38% today - ouch!!!

Yeah, and I didn't trust that number and I'm using him right now... Stupid me.

Aah, thanks for making that distinction Mike, I would have mixed it up otherwise. What are you going for with parameters of Goalie stats probabilities this season; does it factor in win probability (and maybe weight it?) or is it just variable stats like GAA and SV%?

We build out from the SV% and GAA as well as the GFA of the opposing team.

Wow Lundy got lit up. You guys sure called that one. At least Niemi played a great game.

Vokoun did as well but he was on my bench. Wouldn't have started him ahead of any of the other 3 goalies...never

But Mike I'd say that's all I could have hoped for from Vokoun. He should be racing to accept that trade

I'm still a little curious as to how the goalie meter works. Lundqvist is listed at 100 while going against a powerful Philly offense and on the second half of a back to back. Niemi is not back to back and is going against Phoenix and he's like 30 or 40. I'm sure you have good reason, I'd just like to know a bit of what went into that so that I can trust it.
