With the trade deadline disappearing in the rear-view mirror, NSHL squads are readying themselves for the big playoff push. Out West, the battle for the eighth and final playoff spot is a tight one indeed. The standings from #7 through #12: #7 Nevada 66 points #8 Seattle Sasquatch 59 points #9 Minneapolis 58 points (one point out) #10 Pittsburgh Sound Chasers 54 points (five points out) #11 Capital City 53 points (five points out) #12 North Calgary 53 points (five points out) The other most interesting race is at the top of the Northeast, with Lyndonville (82 points), Long Island (82 points) and Corner Creek (79 points) fighting one another for the critical #2 seed (it seems unlikely that the St. Michael's Privateers will relinquish home ice in the East). Thank you to Michael Kuduk for a great article on goaltending and the NSHL! And good luck to all teams as we look forward to warm weather and the Farley Cup playoffs. ********************************************************************* THE NSHL PHILOSOPHER, vol. 2 by Michael Kuduk, Houston owner Tonight, I'll be discussing another topic near and dear to the NSHL GM's heart - goaltending. The conventional wisdom amongst NSHL GMs is that the goalie is the last piece of the puzzle, and that the astute GM should assemble the rest of his team first before adding the goalie. There are several reasons for this. First, in the NHL, one or two bad games is enough to ruin a goalie's save percentage so as to render him unusable. Second, if you are rebuilding, a good goalie is better traded to a contender, as an outstanding netminder will make the team perfrom over its talent level. Third, it assumes finding a goalie with a good save percentage, even if it is just for one year, is not too difficult. I'm not going to argue with the above blueprint, as several of the league's dominant teams were built with the above in mind, so it has a proven record of success. I think the rest of the league is on to this now, as I remember the asking price for a high save percentage goalie taken early in the waiver draft was way too rich for my blood, though I really needed one. So...there may be another way. There's no denying that the goalie is one of the, if not the most important player on the ice. Hot goalies can steal games singlehandedly, and cold goalies can lose them in singular fashion. In reveiwing the current NSHL standings, the teams at the top of the standings have goalie(s) with high card save percentages, and teams at the bottom have goalie(s) with low card save percentages. The correlation is not exact, but farily strong. The resulting influence on won/loss record has influenced trading patterns as well, as teams with weak goaltending have been sellers, and teams with strong goaltending were buyers before the trade deadline. So, if this player is so important to your team's success, why wait until the last minute to get one? If the rest of the team has come together at the right time, trading for one will be expensive, and may well limit your longevity at the top of the league. I say that your goalies should be drafted, and developed, just like your other players. There will be successes and failures, but whoever took Tukka Rask a few years ago will agree with me. Let me relate to the league my goaltending foibles in another league as an illustration. This league is 24 teams as well, but it is salary based. It has been in existence three years. In the initial draft, my first pick was - get this - Ray Emery. (At the time the HNIC crew still thought his tricks were evidence of his "competitive edge" in Ottawa. So did I.) At least I was smart enough to back him up with LeClaire, so I had a goalie last year who was good enough to get us to the playoffs when Emery was starting his downward slide. This year, with no goaltending whatsoever, I drafted Varlamov first round, and took Schneider second round, knowing there was a gaping hole there on an otherwise reasonable team. I traded for Budaj just to have some games, so I wrote this season off. Rask was my first rounder the year before, and I did keep Emery, as his salary was low (at the time). I cut LeClaire, as his current performance did not justify his price tag, and I had just gotten burned on "the answer to all of Ottawa's problems". So for next year, I have Rask, Emery and Varlamov, and Budaj, who will have a playable card as well. I got a ton of offers for Schneider, who looks like he will find a spot in the NHL somewhere, and I will keep him for now. (My rule of thumb is the player everyone wants is the one you should keep.) The point here is that I took time to regroup and try to develop some young players where there was a need, just like I would have done on defense or at left wing. I should be OK for next season, and I am hopeful that one of these players will develop into a horse like Brodeur or Luongo, who can play every night and be consistently good season after season. And those types of players are the most valuable of all. As always, your comments are always welcome. ********************************************************************* WEEK FIFTEEN/SIXTEEN RESULTS AND INJURIES: Lyndonville Blades 2, Brooklyn Fourteenth
