I don't believe there is goalie fatigue. I haven't seen it yet. Another issue with the goalies is their passing. They don't seem to be able to do it very well.
I still play the game a lot and have accepted a state of smoldering rage when the CPU scores a crap goal (I have Backstrom - 87, in net and routinely give up 4 or 5 goals on 15-20 shots while scoring the same on 40) or, my latest rages: how the Dmen don't cover for each other - the Dman not covering the puck carrier still tries to stand up his man instead of retreating with the opposition and is then caught chasing, and the net battles. Guys too busy with net battles to do silly things like scoop offensive zone rebounds or go to the corner to get a loose puck; power forward moves are almost dead because you can't get a shot if you're being touched. so many more, but acceptance makes me happier (and taking my revenge by adjusting the hitting sliders).
