[Bruyns]

What's tiebreaker?

higher seed

hopefully I can hold the tie and win by tiebreaker lol

thanks

It's over you win.

EDM/DAL has been a crazy matchup, Will needs a RNH penalty or he's out

[Matthew]

It's been a crazy round

Yesterday it looked a really good chance 5 top seeds were gonna be out

Buffalo Philadelphia Washington in the east

Vancouver and Edmonton in the west

Now it seems only vancouver

[Arian The Insider]

Gg Will. Was an insanely close week.

[Loki]

Gg Thom, those early games sunk me in the end, was a close one until today

higher seed

hopefully I can hold the tie and win by tiebreaker lol

thanks

Gg, I should've kept my original lineup with Mcleod/Appleton in - that would've given me the slight edge needed with goals - too much tinkering, should just go with your best lineup sometimes

[kyuss]

I believe after applying the goalies' rule Bruyns advances thanks to the tie breaker

[kyuss]

FML, read the rule as if you had 2 starters....Where as I clearly have a starter and a backup...Lol, I would of easily benched Driedger as he has been a pile of steamy shit this year. But thats how my luck goes, the one time I may of beat Buffalo I go and read the rules wrong..

to be fair, before I managed to get this rule implemented you'd have lost all your goalies stats. Iirc I was once ousted from the playoffs because of that.

[Florida Chris]

Sorry, I'm confused. Do I lose all G cats or just W and my SO

just W and SO (enough to lose and let bruyns advance):

4-5-2 : No team can exceed four (4) goalie starts in a playoff matchup. If a team exceeds the playoff 4-goalie-starts per week limit, all Wins recorded by its goalies will be erased. Furthermore, eventual shutouts recorded by the goalie with less starts will be erased as well (all shutouts recorded will be erased if the goalies have the same number of starts; in that scenario exceeding the total of 4 means at least 3 starts each, hence breaking the limit by 2).

[Shoalzie]

The last statement about shutouts doesn't make much sense...at least the way it is written. The idea should be that if you go over 4 starts in a matchup, you lose your counting stats (wins and shutouts).

If Chris was up 9-6-1 and he loses his wins and shutout stats. Matt gets the win category because he had 1 win but the shutouts are tied 0-0. So the result of the matchup 7-7-2 with Matt winning because of the tiebreaker?

GG matthew, your team is strong.. gd luck to the rest of your matchups.
hopefully i get a stronger team next year.

that's not the rule, whatever your idea may be.
i.e. it's not automatic that you lose "wins and shutouts" from both goalies, only wins are automatically wiped out once you exceed the 4 game starts limit

Correct and the way it is written you only lose the SO's of the goalie with less games which is why I needed Driedger to start.

I've had some close matches, I know I made a big comeback against Steve in the finals one year when it looked hopeless, but this was probably my luckiest win.

Lucky for sure...Good luck the rest of the way. I am looking at it as a win for my team, but was disqualified for being stupid. So funny too that the one time this year Driedger plays more than once a week he plays lights out too. This win/loss has fired me up for next year tho. I was very mixed with the direction of my team and if I should continue my upward trend with improvement or take a step back and not tank but retool a bit. I like my team going forward, and I have few moves that I would like to do, but don't think i have to do a ton and my team is pretty set moving forward.

Then what happens with his shutouts? If the shutout stays then Chris would win, right?

[Shoalzie]

Now that I see how this rule is be enforced...I get how that was written. The goalie with a shutout with the fewer starts has their shutout thrown out.

The goalie starts thing is tricky when you have goalies from two different teams...you're at risk of this happening.
