A crappy little town with one nice B&B.  Tip your waitress.[/quote]

ouch. that hurts alot. it may be small, but it's far from crappy.

I've never been to Dryden, actually.  I just needed a punchline.

Dryden had a great ability to avoid leaving rebounds in front.  He would kick out his stick saves toward the boards or some safe area.  And a good glove hand as well - he also played shortstop for the Cornell baseball team, so that'll give you an idea about his athleticism and agility.  When the pressure was on heavily, he'd occasionally go down and double stack the pads, but aside from fending off BU in the Gahden, I don't remember this happening very often during his collegiate career.
His most frequent goaltending style in Cornell games looked just like this (except for the uniform):

As someone else already posted, it's hard to describe Ken in today's goaltending vernacular.  This very brief video won't show you much, but it's the only one I'm aware of.

He was tonight.  It lasted just under 16 minutes.

Yeah, I'm done.

I'm glad "Scrivner" got the start, but there's no offense on this team, and neither goalie deserves any blame.

Well, when you take arguable the most creative player, and second highest scorer, out of the team you have to expect the offense to stumble a bit.

I'm not sure if this has much footage of Dryden, but it might give you some idea. You can also look at other summit series games on YouTube.

In case I botched the link, this should be a 10 minute video of the final minutes of Canada's final-game victory of the Soviets.

The "Ca na da!" cheer sounds like "townies up!"  And is it just me, or do the pads make those goalkeepers look really tall when they stand up?

[quote cZonTix]Shouldn't Scrivens be given more of a chance as the 1st string goalie?  Seems as though he only gets a chance when Davenport gets off to a bad start.  Based on stats, certainly seems like he should be given more of a chance to show his ability.[/quote]

Maybe Schafer said to Scrivens, "I'm giving you three goals worth of playing time. Take it as far as you can."
