How Stars are chosen

[joejiz]

Hi

Can you tell me how stars are chosen in a game?

It seems that in some games guys can get hat tricks and not even get chosen. Some bizarre results, just curious if the code changes for how stars are chosen? We are using 2.1 engine.

Hi.

Goal, Assis, Plus and Minus, Hits, Shots Block and PIM are in the formula to calculate 3 Star. I would be curious to see that game with the hat trick.

I will contact the coach who seemed to notice this the most for details of the game(s)

This is rather true though. I've seen instances where a goalie got the number one star for having a 12-save shutout, while a player who scored 2g, 2a was 2nd star. Yet I've also seen it where a goalie who had 40+ saves and 2 goals against in a win get third star when a guy with a single goal was first star (and his stats were worse than the other goal scorers).

I can start documenting instances, if you would like, Simon.

Hi Owen.

I would appreciate if you document then. I didn't put too much effort and analyses on this formula.

This is for skaters. What is used for goalies?

[SimonT]

The PCT of the game.

Sounds good.

Now, how would a goalie be chosen over a skater and vice versa considering that their stats are not the same? Is that an info you can provide us?

[SimonT]

What do you means "Stat are not the same"? It's a formula.
Goalier : PCT in the Formula = X
Players : Goal, Assist, Plus and Minus, Hits, Shots Block and PIM in the Formula = X

The best 3 X result in the games get the star.

This was an interesting one... Reto Berra made 54 saves and wasn't a star. The team that won only had one of the three stars and the player who scored the OT winner wasn't one of them.

Hi.

The SA is not in the formula. Only the PCT is include.

Well...basically, what I meant is to have an idea of what the formula looks like.

There is only 1 stat taken to determine if a goalie will be a star or not.
There are 6 stats taken to determine if a player will be a star or not.

Seems a little bit unbalanced to me. But yeah, we have seen instances where goalies have allowed 1 goal with 40+ shots, get the win and not be in the stars. Just wondering the weight ratio of the stats between a goalie and a player.

[SimonT]

With a stop rare of 0.975, the goaler should get a star unless the 3 players had a very very good night.

Anyone checking out this game can easily say that a Dman with 1 assist and 8 hits should not get the 1st star over a goalie that makes 39/41 saves in a playoff overtime game. Yet, it happened and the goalie didn't even get the 2nd star...

This just happened this morning.

No doubt Berra should have been the 1st star of the game. No matter what the other players did in this game, even if the winning team would have had a hat trick scorer.
