Empty Net Goals List

bluebirdsbaby · Dec 6, 2008

After being saved by a Boston Bruins Empty Net Goal on Thursday night, I was curious to find out how many empty netters there have been this year.

Both NY Ranger Empty Netters resulted in a PUSH. The rest resulted in the total going OVER. Now that I look at this list, I can remember 5 of those empty net goals which screwed my Under bet and cost me the loss.

BUCSnotYUCKS · Dec 6, 2008

I've only had 1 empty net goal go my way this year

HatTrick · Dec 6, 2008

Interesting info.
Another angle I've always wondered about are coaches tendencies on pulling goalies; i.e. Coach A will pull a goalie when down 2 goals at 2:30 remaining etc., Coach B tends not to pull goalie until less than 1 minute left in game..etc.

This kind of info can be included when capping such things as pucklines and totals. I know I've lost some +1.5 pucklines in real close games and thinking, "man, does this coach pull his goalie this early everytime????"

Anyone have any thoughts on this?

good info what site did you use to get it?

Icemantbi · Dec 6, 2008

Great info, this will help me when I look at the +1.5 PL's

TheBud · Dec 6, 2008

Sharks don't even try for the empty net, they get to the red line and loft it to the corner... and usually pick up pm's in the last min of the game... been burnt twice this year -1.5 with em...

I remember last year... I had the UNDER in a Chicago/St. Louis game. It was 3-1 for St. Louis, and with 6 minutes (YES SIX) left in the 3rd period, Chicago pulled their goalie. St. Louis potted 2 empty-netters before Chicago decided to play their goalie again, and they won the game 5-2 or something. The two empty netters pushed the total over, and I was bloody pissed. I was screaming for a fix, and I'm pretty sure I told EVERYONE that the Chicago coach must have had the Over, because there's NO REASON to pull your goalie when your down by 3 goals.

Compiled it myself. Used Yahoo Sports, because they're one of the few places that actually writes (empty net) after an empty net goal.
