He had a brush with fame at a lower level four years ago. https://www.pensionplanpuppets.com/2015/12/5/9852730/from-the-branches-the-ballad-of-david-ayres

I was amused by the fact that he played the second period in blue pants but that by the third he had changed into red pants, to match his teammates.

incredible.

weird that he didn't have a hockeydb page since the article says he played for the laredo bucks (but hockey db doesn't have him on their all-time roster).

so now he has a hockeydb profile that looks like he fell out of the sky into the nhl, which isn't totally untrue and kind of perfect.

Actually, he fell out of thin ayres. (Well, not so thin.)

The Canes were ahead when he came in, why does he get the win?

His Elite Prospects page is great too.

The first goalie went out because he was "shaken up" and the backup was pulled due to injury.  Not sure how I'd feel if it was like the last 60 seconds or five minutes, but since he finished half the game, it seems reasonable that he'd get the win.

I have always thought the rule was deterministic: if you're the goalie of record when the final go ahead goal is scored then you're the weiner.

I wasn't arguing he didn't "deserve" it but that there is no "deserve," only a rule.

[upprdeck]

I find lots of stats that say the goalie on the ice when the game winning goal is scored which in this game would have been goal scored and thats not the Zamboni driver so why did he get the win?

[DL]

No idea what the rules are, or even if he deserved it, that's what I rely on you guys for, because it logically makes sense either way.

From the most recent NCAA Ice Hockey Statisticians Manual (2013-14):

"In a non-tie game, the game-winning goal (GWG) is the goal for the winning team that is one more than the total number of goals scored by the losing team. If the losing team  scores  three  goals,  the  fourth  goal  scored  by  the  winning team is the GWG."

It's not the same as baseball.

[Robb]

That gives a rather perverse incentive.  You're winning 3-1, goalie goes down.  You come in the game and your team goes up 4-1.  You now have an incentive to let the other team score 2, so that your 4th goal becomes the winning goal.  Strange.

It's not entirely clear what your sentence is supposed to mean ... but Ayres was on the ice when the GWG was scored. So he gets the win.
