In honor of McKee (11) closing in on Dryden's career shut out record (13), here is a listing of all Cornell shut outs. Anyone with additional info, such as boxes, etc, on any of these "blanks," please post it here or let me know:

This table is also accessible from the TBRW "Games" index page.

If I counted right, Cornell has more shutouts from 2002-05 (25) than from 1976-2001 (24). Pretty crazy.

With Dryden in the nets for shutouts, this is what Cornell scored
8, 8, 7, 1, 7, 4, 6, 9, 1, 8, 13, 14, 7, 3 goals for Cornell [<- edit: Brian Cropper may have been in goal for one of these last ones]
Mean 6.9, median 7, mode 8
With McKee tending goal for shutouts, this is what Cornell scored
2, 1, 4, 2, 1, 2, 3, 5, 1, 1, 5
Mean 2.5, median 2, mode 1
That first 1-0 Dryden shutout was the 1967 NCAA semifinal against North Dakota at a time when the Big Red was not exactly a household word in college hockey. (The second was 1-0 over Toronto in a 1968 holiday tournament.) Is there a more important 1-0 shutout in Cornell's history?
In the Underhill/LeNeveu years, when the defense-first model was in place and you'd expect low-scoring outcomes, only one Cornell win was 1-0, by Underhill at Clarkson Jan. 2002.
Most shutouts in a season was 9 by LeNeveu in 2003. If memory recalls, he was robbed of a tenth at Princeton on a Princeton PP when Cornell lofted the puck seemingly clear of the defensive zone, only to have a Princeton blueliner reach out his stick at waist height just inside the blue line, make contact, the puck dropped at his feet, and the enusing shot or rebound went in. Actually, LeNeveu had I believe 10 one-goal allowed games his sophomore year (there was an 11th but that was Everblades where he didn't play) so he must have been robbed on shutouts a couple more times. Incredible.
And incredible that somebody keeps these stats and keeps them up to date. Judging by Friday's turnout, I don't think there's an eHobeyGoPrincetonTigersOnlyFourWeeksTilLaxSeason.com statistical site.

A few thoughts/memories:
In the 12/18/67 9-0 shutout at Harvard, Harvard had only 11 shots on goal. I remember joking afterward that had we played 6 attackers and no goalie, it would've added enough goals so that we could've won the game with 60 minutes of empty net.
In the 7-0 win at Colgate we had a few injuries, and Ned played Bruce Pattison at center for the one and only time.
I note that per your stats, Dryden has 13 shutouts. Since 10 are specifically attributed to him, that means he gets 3 of the 4 from '68-'69. I was at all four games, and can say for sure that the SLU playoff game was all Dryden. One of the others was either a shared shutout or Cropper.
Greg, there seems to be a conflict between the game-by-game list and what you've got posted on TBRW in the goaltending section re Cropper - as TBRW shows Cropper for 2 shutouts in '69-70, not 3, and for 1 shutout in '68-'69 - which, if correct, would mean he may have had the Penn game as a sophomore, and shared the Dartmouth game as a junior (just my guesses there - although I was at all 3 shutouts that year also).

Cropper was the goalie for the 14-0 shutout of Penn on 1/8/69. Dryden had the other three that season.

May I just note how hilarious I find it that Davenport is listed ahead of McKee in the eLF Goaltending Leaders because of his demitasse-cup of espresso in net this year.
