Re: Patty Kaz 2014 Thread
In response to ARM (re Howe)
Howe had 112 shots on (averaged 22.4 shots/gm vs ranked teams), where the opposition goalies (Slebonick/Maschmeyer/Laden/Benzie/Shaw) had 147 shots on (averaging 29.4 shots/game). Net outcome is 2 wins and 3 losses for Howe with a save % of 90% while the opposition goalies had the opposite records for wins and losses (with a save % of 94%). Clarkson outshot the opposition in all games except for the fifth, and lost 3 of the 4 games they outshot the opposition (41/24 L, 36/19 L 26/23 W, 27/20 L, 17/26 W), the one game Clarkson was out shot - Clarkson won (UND).
Howe out battled Laden and Shaw, and was out battled by Slebodnick, Maschmeyer and Benzie.
Howe was a difference maker in the 2nd game against UND, and maybe (didn't see the game) a negative difference maker vs Cornell in the 6 - 3 loss, might be argued that she was also a difference maker vs Quinnipiac since shots were similar 26/23 with Clarkson winning 3 - 0.
So probably I would give Howe 2 difference maker games positively and 1 difference maker game negatively. With 2 games as neutral.
On a different note: After reviewing a bunch of goalie stats other areas came out, namely that certain teams have got development plans in place, Wisco with Rigsby as a Sr has been developing Desbien (a Fr), Harvard with Maschmeyer as a So is developing Laing (a Fr), Clarkson has played Howe (a Sr) almost all of the games with no real backup (maybe a great recruit coming in?), Cornell has played Slebodnick (a Sr) almost all of the time, UND splits games between Benzie and Shaw recently against most opposition (overall Benzie (a So) has played 11 games with Shaw (a Fr) playing 6 games). Interestingly against ranked teams recently (Wisco and Clarkson - Benzie and Shaw both got a game in each series). Quinnipiac has Laden (a Jr) so not under the gun yet, but she plays most of the games (I think she had an injury recently but they played weaker competition while she was out and Q prevailed).
Definitely these teams have different succession plans, with UND being the most balanced followed by Wisco and Harvard, and leaves one wondering what the plan is for Clarkson and Cornell. I'm sure the coaches in each program have a plan, just wondering. And sometimes someone just steps up when the Sr goalie leaves, in the example of Quinnipiac where Vigilante played almost all of the games since her arrival at Quinnipiac, and this year Laden stepped in and stepped up, so sometime it just works out.
This last point probably belongs in a different thread - Succession Planning, as I noticed in many of the threads that contributors speak to development and use of the bench.

....That is a loaded assumption to make... 
.....Do not agree, neither with that comment nor with that observation..
