RC 0.9.5 - Sim Terminology

Just found another one that may need to be checked.

In the shootout:

Penalty Shot by Daymond Langkow for New York Islanders - Shot Misses Goalie

Does it mean shot misses the goaltender or shot misses the net ?

Because if the shot misses the goaltender you would think it would be a goal as the tender is usually in front of the net, But if the shooter shoots wide then yes, it would miss the net.

Thanks

I've always interpreted this as missing the net completely

Watching NHL games on TV, i have only heard the commentary saying, Shot misses the Net, never shot misses the Goalie.

Yeah... but I also never heard the "goalies" called "goalers" either...

But that is not the main point i was looking at.

Should it be misses the Goalie/Goaltender/Goaler/Gardien or Misses the Net.

Thanks

I think its implied that if it misses the goalie, that it also missed the net, or else it would say goal.

Basicly the question is: Does the player aim the net or the goalie?

As far as I remember, players always aimed the net not the goalie so IT IS miss the net... Cuz you miss what you were aiming.

Dont get me wrong, I definitely agree that it SHOULD say "misses the net." I am just saying that I think that's what they mean when they say "misses the goalie." I have never said miss the goalie unless I was aiming at him, which only happens during warmups when our goalie needs to be brought down a peg or two lol

Well basicly if he miss the goalie and do not miss the net, it's a goal?
So.. I always tought that miss the goalie meens miss the net? I'm wrong?

Yeah but you miss what you were aiming for... And hopefully you were not aiming for goalie.

My point is, if you MISS something it mandatory implies that you was aiming for it.

I knowwwww lol, I agree with you, I'm saying that I think it is worded wrong in the output, and that it SHOULD say misses the net.
