Which goalie can build the best roster of guys who scored their first goal on him?
Today, we’re going to play a roster-building game based on a relatively straightforward question: Which goalie can make the best six-man team out of players who scored their first career goal against them?
That’s it. Nice and simple. But first, a few ground rules™:
- Each squad will be made up of three forwards, two defensemen and a goalie. Other than that, position won’t matter.
- The forwards and defensemen must have all scored their first career goals against the same goaltender. That goalie will then complete the roster, joining the guys who scored on him.
- Once they’re on the team, you’re getting the peak version of that player.
Before we start, let’s all tap sticks for reader Billy G., who not only sent me this idea, but also included a massive spreadsheet of relevant research. Folks, I can’t emphasize this strongly enough: My favorite readers are the ones who do all the work for me. Way to go Billy. You’re like the anti-Bryce.
We’re going to crank up stathead’s goal finder and build out a dozen rosters, and then turn it over to you in the comments to see if you can beat them.
