Article choosing among candidates for the Richter Award

Ryan Lambert wrote an interesting article on CHN about how he ranked goalies competing for the Richter Award. From a Cornell perspective, I think the bottom line is it wouldn't matter if Ken Dryden himself were playing goal for us, as long as Schafer successfully coaches teams that shut down the opponents' offenses, no Cornell goalie can possibly win the Richter Cup.
Here's the relevant quote: "Galajda [who had the highest 5v5 save %age in the country], however, also faced just 22.6 shots per 60 minutes, compared to 28.4 for Knight and 30.7 for Wall, behind a better team and in a weaker conference, all of which matter."

Cornell goalies have been rolling up fantastic numbers for 20 years. It makes sense to me that the only way a Big Red goalie is going to win the Richter is if he has an otherworldly season around 1.20 / .940, like LeNeveu in 2003.

The deck is stacked against Cornell. Dryden goes 29-0 and no Richter Award.Trotsky

I'm still mad at the Cantabs for letting Jimmy Howard break that record one year later.

It seems the opposition skaters on the ice who shot at various goalies would have a more credible opinion than say, an observer in the rink or - worse- an observer on T.V. - Are the MVP Goalie voters statisticians or are they players and observers of the games?

Yes, they are. You're welcome.

Please do not feed the troll. I'm sure it has a rapidly approaching date with COVID because "I trust my eyes more than charts and math, hurr."

I trust the eyes and opinions of people who play the game more than I trust the subjective conclusions of those who only watch the game. Their figures not significant. If they were, they would be cleaning up in Vegas, not parsing six or eight pages of decimal points.

Ken: Concur! Baseball is a marvelous game for statisticians and their efforts DO yield results, but the pace and the strategies of these two games are galaxies apart. Until hockey coaches can stop a breakaway by a left-handed shooter with a weak backhand on a right-handed goalie with a strong glove hand and replace either or both players before play resumes statisticians won't help anybody very much.
