Just a suggestion for your commish to put forward for next year - why don't you add 'Saves' as a category? That way, your commish wouldn't have to monitor the teams and it ensures you'll have to play your goalies.

From what I saw tonight Neuvirth looked alright, but the stats aren't great - 3.07 GAA & .897 SV%. There's 3 more games for WAS until Sun. so I'll still wait before I make a move.
Anyone got the skinny on Chad Johnson? - Tippett is going with him again on Wed. & PHO seems to have a good defensive system going.
Well that's a pretty wishy-washy system but assuming you're not the commish it's not your fault. Given that you only count GAA and SV% I would pick up Biron (assuming holding him meets the arbitrary approval of the commish). Normally I'd pick up Neuvirth but with no counting stats there is no advantage to playing often. Biron will play occasionally in front of a rock solid team and put up solid numbers.

And as horrofan mentioned next year suggest you add Saves, or wins or something that encourages more games played for goalies.

Yeah, I've had that thought also, or perhaps SO. This scoring set-up is only in it's second season, with some change over in coaches so people are still getting adjusted. We used to have G,A,+-,PIM,PPP,SHP,GWG & W, SV%, GAA but some coaches felt that in a 13 team league you had no chance at winning if you didn't get starting goalies & not much encouragement to play hard until the end of season. It was also hard to find a decent goalie in the FA pool with that set-up with most teams carrying a third (sometimes fourth) goal-tender.

I'm thinking that we need to add one cat. for goalies & one more for skaters for a 9/3 split - something like that.

@Lawman :
I've been thinking about Biron also - I'll have to check the Rangers schedule to see when the BtB games are, but I definitely have more faith in them than the Caps just because the defense core is stable. Also love watching them play!

edit: looks like March & April have 2 BtB games, so I'll keep an eye on Torts & see how he plays them. Pretty easy to do since I've already got 2 other Rangers.

If my team somehow manages to stay on top of the goal-tending stats (currently 2nd best) with spot starter goal-tending I'm thinking that someone will complain about the set-up. I certainly don't expect to remain at the top in those categories, but you never know...

thanks for the input!
