Title: Coach Schafer by the Numbers
Post by: Trotsky on March 04, 2014, 03:19:34 PM
If the ECAC's web site (http://www.ecachockey.com/men/history/League-records.pdf) is to be believed, Schafer is now 35 ECAC RS victories short of the all-time record.

272 Len Ceglarski
270 Joe Marsh
256 Tim Taylor
255 Bill Cleary
238 Mike Schafer *
236 Charlie Holt
226 Bob Gaudet *
211 Don Vaughn *
196 Mark Morris
190 Mike Gilligan

The relative positions of Schafer and Gaudet on those two lists makes me so, so happy.

BTW, after scratching my head for a while I figured out that Schafer's loss total on the ECAC site is off by 100 (and the GP is off by 2).  His all-time record in ECAC games is currently 238-127-53 .633

If you wondered, he aint catching the tie record (Gaudet has 90!) or the loss record (Taylor had 274).

Gaudet is about 5 years older, and Vaughn just a couple years older, than Mike.  (I was surprised Gaudet is not over 60; it just feels like he's been around forever.)

Given the longevity of guys like Mason, Parker, Taylor, and Cleary, it is not impossible that a decade from now all 3 of the "deans" still be coaching.  (Mike of course with a couple NCAA titles to his name...)

In passing: Pecknold has also been coaching at Q for 19 years, though of course not all of them in D-1.

That should be 120 losses, right?

He'd better not be over 60.  He was a student when I was!  (I believe he was a senior when I was a soph).

Mark Morris has been the Manchester Monarchs coach forever.  Are they grooming him for when Darryl Sutter goes back to the farm/blows a gasket or is he stuck?

Cornell has now advanced in 33 of the 46 ECAC playoff series (http://www.tbrw.info/?/games/cornell_ECAC_Series_Icon.html) (72%) under Schafer (not counting consies; he's 2-2 in those).  His squads have made the ECAC SF in 14 of his 19 seasons (http://www.tbrw.info/?/coaches/cornell_Coaches.html) (74%).

That shutout saved Schafer's record of at least one during each of his 19 seasons (http://www.tbrw.info/?/games/cornell_Shutouts.html).  It was his squads' 70th shut out:

The class of '05 was part of 29 shutouts in 138 games.  That's a shutout more than 21% of the time. Wow.

A big part of that was this (http://www.tbrw.info/reports/pdf/rpt50_Goalies_Career_Shots60.pdf).  Check out those shots per 60 minutes faced by LeNeveu (21.0) and McKee (23.1).

By comparison, this year Cornell has given up 28.6 shots per 60.
