Please Vote! S38 Aldege "Baz" Bastien Memorial Award Voting

Welcome to the Baz Memorial Award Voting Thread!

Criteria:

1) Production in relation to peers. Goaltenders with high SV%, low GAA, and most shutouts are generally the "best" in the league. In particular, SV% should be weighted slightly more than GAA when analyzing stats. Also compare how a goalie did in comparison to the other goalie(s) on his team throughout the season. This gives some extra insight into how truly outstanding a goalie's performance was.


2) Individual record. The individual record becomes a very important and telling statistic. At the end of the day it's about winning, and to be considered for this award you should be posting at minimum a respectable record. Also, note that to be eligible for this award you need to have played the most goalie games on your team. You can't be judged as the best goalie in the league if you weren't even judged as the best goalie on your team. It's preferable for goalies to have gotten a brunt of the workload throughout the season as opposed to an average 5/4 split, but this is not mandatory for consideration.


3) Linemates. This is mainly to note that a goalie should not be significantly punished during consideration simply for playing behind a talented team. On the flip side of this, goalies should not significantly benefit during consideration simply for playing on a below-average team.


4) Strength of schedule. In a league where managers (and players, to a certain extent), are able to choose who they play against, it is important to consider the strength of opposition when determining individual awards. The main things to examine here are record vs playoff teams as compared to record vs non-playoff teams, as well as statistical production vs playoff teams as compared to non-playoff teams. Specifically, a goalie who plays a majority of his games against stronger teams and has a quality record in these games should be rewarded over players who mainly play against weaker teams.

As far as individual stats are concerned, it is expected that goalies will allow fewer goals against weaker teams. Goalies should only be downgraded in this area if they allow a significant and disproportionate amount of goals in games against playoff teams. In especially tight cases between goalies, also consider evaluating the individual lineups that they face throughout the season. Subjectively quantify teams' 1st/2nd/3rd lines, and examine how many of each the goalies have played against throughout the season, in combination with playoff/nonplayoff.

LOL dude I felt so bad for you and a few others. You deserved it man. The committee/manager nominations for this award were pathetic. Some people just submitted troll noms.

 

@Perry x 88 tuff

 

@PitcheRxSwaGx Has my vote, just the type of goalie you give the ropes to and say "win me 1-0 games in the finals you son of a bitch." Those don't grow on trees!

 

@PitcheRxSwaGx is the best goalie in the ahl

 

I mean , all of these goalie are good, even great! But you have to look at the teams we had up front! Clout is an excellent goalie and barely went over .760... I guess that having the most shutout in a middle team having played like 20 games less than other g in the shutout competition isint even good for a mention ! Anyway it’s only a game! / super is fucking elite he has my vote
