What is GSR™?

Goalie Scout Rating — by CreaseScout

GSR is CreaseScout’s proprietary performance metric that measures how well a goalie performs relative to the difficulty of shots they face.

Why Not Just Use Save Percentage?

Save percentage treats every shot equally. A point-blank shot from 5 yards and a lazy floater from 20 yards both count the same. GSR knows the difference.

What GSR Measures

Shot Distance

Close-range bullets vs. distant floaters

Shooting Angle

Dead-center vs. sharp-angle wing shots

Cage Placement

Corner snipes vs. center-mass saves

Game Context

Man-down, fast break, late-game pressure

Shot Sequence

Rapid-fire second and third chances

45%

SAVE RATE
