Final Match-up Goalie Strategy
Final match-up, on a quest to repeat. Team and league in sig. Here's how it looks:
--- G --- A --- +/- --- PPP --PIM---SHP--SOG--HIT--BLK----W -- GAA -- SV% ---- SV --- SO
ME: 5 --- 11 --- -4 --- 6 --- 14 --- 1 --- 75 --- 46 --- 19 --- 2 --- 1.59 --- .941 --- 128 --- 1
HIM: 4 --- 3 --- 0 --- 2 ---- 16 --- 0 --- 39 --- 52 --- 22 --- 3 --- 2.60 --- .910 --- 131 --- 0
My opponent has Fleury, Khudobin, and Pavelec. I own the tie-breaker, and currently lead this match-up 8-6. I am thinking of benching my goalies for the rest of the week and conceding wins and saves, to secure sv%, GAA and (hopefully) SO. I have the luxury of having Quick in the late game Saturday against Vancouver, so I can roll him out there if I really need to, or if his goalies have tough days, putting GAA and sv% out of reach, making it a safe play. Is this the right play? Huge implications (a title!) so need to get this right.
I need 7 cats to win, and I have to luxury of have a SO and a SHP already this week. That means, A, SOG, SHP, GAA, SV%, SO are all relative locks barring any miracles. PPP is most likely mine. He doesn't really have any cats locked up, with G, +/-, hits and Blk all being relatively close, and all could go either way.
Would love some thoughts on my strategy and if sitting my goalies out is the right move.
