NHL Board Playoff Pool 5.0

[DaBoltsNIsles]

So, for Thomas, he made 37 saves. It's 0.10 points per save, so that's 3.70 points. But he also gave up 2 goals, it's -1.0 points per goal given up. That means he lost 2 points for the goals given up... 3.70-2.00 = 1.70 points.

On 4/15, Rinne made 41 saves at 0.10 points per save, that's 4.10 points. But he gave up 2 points, that's -2.00 points. He got the win, which is another 4 points for the win. But he also was credited with a giveaway in the game, which is -0.25 points. So, 4.10 - 2.00 + 4.00 - 0.25 = 5.85 points

The reason we set goalie points a little different this year was because it was too easy last year for a goalie to have a 30 save game in a win and end up with over 11 points. Point totals like that put way too much emphasis on the goalies and not on the skaters. A skater could have a game winning power play goal and only would have had 9 points under the old point system. So we changed the point system a bit this year so that goalies points and skaters points were a little more even and equally as important. The hope was so that it would keep the team points a little closer and the competition a little bit more competitive.

In reviewing how the new point system has worked so far this year, esls believes that -1.00 points for every goal given up for a goalie is a little too harsh because the goalies perhaps are getting too few points for all their effort in a game. So, I believe next season when we do this, we will changing this slightly for next year's playoff pool.

Thank you very much for the explaination ducky. I appreciate it.

ugh, i lost my testacles (and also my mind) after this post and switched quick out for broduer



we're actually very different.. i think its just giroux being a beast that has us so close haha.. you might be in trouble if the flyers keep it up

who knows...these playoffs have been unpredictable. I dont think anyone saw the Flyers putting it to the Pens like this.

So banking on deep runs by the Pens and the Canucks is prooooobably not going to pay off for me. I guess I'll have company from many of Penguin fan friends.

aww crap...it just hit me that Neal might get suspended. That is a good chunk of negative points right?

Was hoping it wouldn't come to this, but to clarify:

If Neal gets suspended for say 2 games, that is negative 10 points, at negative 5 points per game. If the Pens get eliminated on Wednesday, in effect it will only have been one game served, but he will still lose the full amount of points in this pool - make sense?

Who are we kidding, it's not like he'll be suspended anyways...

yeah that makes perfect sense. Neal has been one of my better players...i cant afford to lose his points.

 

[Slimpikins]

Let me see if I understand this correctly.

If enough Pens/Nucks get suspended I could actually end up with negative points to end the pool?

Is there a consolation prize for that?

Correct, but they're gonna have to earn it - it's not like the Shanny hands these things out like candy.

Yes, candy is the consolation prize.

Yes, candy is the consolation prize.

Ooh! I have the same opportunity!

It really won't make much of a difference for me whether Neal is suspended or not. I have 3 Pens & 2 Canucks. I'm pretty much done anyway.

It would have been nice to know whether or not Daniel Sedin was going to play in the first three games though. This day to day crap is annoying.
