The idea that goalies have a different aging curve than skaters is a myth bolstered by a really tiny number or outlier cases who happen to be some of the most prominent goalies in history.

How well do goalies age? A look at a goalie aging curve.

quote:

Conclusion: I’m going to use the Linear aging curve going forward in my Hockey Marcels, but no matter which one you use a few points are still clear:
1. Goalies don’t improve as they get older
2. By age 30, goalie decline starts to get REALLY noticable
3. By mid-30s, even with the aging line, goalies rapidly start to fall apart.

The Washington Capitals probably shouldn't have drafted so many D for a while there. This time around they take Anders Lee.

I thought that was gonna be Tom Wilson!

Instead of Tom WIlson 16th overall in 2012, the Caps could have had Teuvo Teravainen.

Well I still have a ton of cap space so give me Zdeno Chara I guess. He's old now but he's still good. His cap hit is only 4M in the last year of his deal too which seems fine for someone I'm sticking on the second pairing.

Skinner-Scheifele-Aho
Henrique-Krejci-Buchnevich
TBD-Spooner-TBD

Fowler-McAvoy
Chara-TBD

Gibson

If I'd realized Chara had the PA settlement making his salary that low this year I would have grabbed him. Chara is definitely a lolcap.

We've been on 1 hour windows since Round 16. It's now Round 21. So it's been in effect for awhile.

I missed that. That's why it seems to get coming around to me so fast and I keep skipping my turns.

Crippling knee injury and on the Red Wings? Perfect, Caps take Ryan Sproul.

He'll probably be ready to go by the time the regular season comes around, so if you want I'll swap Copp for Patrick as soon as he's healthy.

I would appreciate that.

I should have posted before everyone voted, but IMO injuries are a bad idea because with them it's not a simulation of our rosters, it's a simulation of our rosters with random players missing.

Orpik going to lead the Caps to 82-0.

Lets set the shootout top 5 as
Crosby
Simmonds
Panik
Vesey
Teravainen

VVG

Anders Lee doesn't seem to be getting as many games as he should. Do I need to swap something around to get him playing more? I think I wanted him on wing but if a move to center puts him ahead of the guys who aren't producing points that's fine too.

Vincent Van Goat posted:

Nah, sorry, that's my fault. He got suspended at some point, so I switched in Brown, but forgot to put Lee back in until a few games after the suspension was up.

No problem. He has Islanders history so deep down I hate him anyway.

I'm just going to assume that the cross-check Orpik got was him laying it on Lunqvist and the refs just felt bad.

Uh, Lundqvist on pace to play 72 games. Does the game punish you for doing that? Might want to get Condon (and his .954, lol) in a little more.
