How good is Lenny?

Lenny had 2 shut outs last year, so his career total is currently 7.  Bill, is the Dryden record of 13 career shut outs just ECAC play, or career shut outs from all games by an ECAC goalie?

For what it's worth, all of Lenny's shutouts have come in ECAC games.

It's all games -- it includes the 1-0 NCAA semi win over North Dakota and a couple shutouts over Canadian teams, as well as ECAC opponents.

In one goal or tie games (an ENG by either team that makes the final score > 1 goal is still a 1 goal game for these purposes) Cornell's record this season is:

                      W     L      T
Lenny             3     2      1
Non-Lenny     2     2      0

The 2 non-Lenny 1 goal losses were the Florida tournament, where Cornell has a long standing commitment to the organizers that it will not win the consolation game under any circumstances.

Last night's tie would have been a win except for his pedestrian handling of Brown's second goal.

Yes, Lenny didn't handle Haggett's game-tying shot well last night, but to exclude the Everblades games in any Lenny/non-Lenny comparison does cause a distortion.  I think the important message is that Cornell is 5-4-1 in one-goal games, and what that--in particular last night's game--shows is that one goal games can go either way.  A bad bounce, a turnover in your end, a crazy deflection, a misplay by a goalie on a non-quality chance, etc., can really ruin your day, even if you've clamped down and are controlling play.

A more interesting comparison is that Cornell is 17-1 in games where Hornby has played, and 2-3-1 in games where he has been injured, DQ'd, or tossed in the first few minutes (Colgate away).

Good, since we will be seeing Hornby tonight.  Will it work for him to start and just not leave the bench?  ;-)

Now 18-1.:-D
