[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I really do think that people outside of Capital don't know just how close some of the talent is on Blue and Orange.  Granted not all of the players but the top players on the Orange team could easily interchange with many on Blue.  The Dartmouth commit started out on Orange as an example.  People who don't watch the actual players or say for instance a practice where they scrimmage each other really don't know and should stay quiet.  [/quote]

This. A Capital Orange goalie actually started their state championship game for Yorktown over the Blue goalie. So they are very close. [/quote]

Do you not realize coaches often start the weaker goalie so they can bring in the stronger goalie when necessary?  It gives a coach time to evaluate the other team’s offense, gets both goalies playing time, but allows the coach to sub in the stronger goalie  when necessary. Smart coaches finish with the stronger goalie. It’s a well known strategy. [/quote]

Wouldn't the strongest goalie just play the whole game?  Its a goalie not a pitcher....what am I missing?[/quote]

Goalies are a different species.  Some coaches alternate goalies.  Some have a starter and a reliever.  In some cases, the stronger starts.  In other cases, the weaker.  A competitive team will usually start the stronger in meaningful games but might start the weaker or play the weaker significantly so that she gets game experience.  Doubtful, though, that a coach would have two goalies where one is meaningfully stronger and start the weaker in a playoff game.  And, of course, this is all subject to (1) perception as to who is stronger and weaker (that doesn't always match reality) and (2) the "hot hand" theory.  [/quote]
