LeNeveu's GAA record in jeopardy?

You've heard this before: OJ co-holds with John Elway the record for most yardage by a slow white Bronco.

 Nolan Ryan, in 1999, was left off six of 497 ballots for the hall of fame, within a tenth of a percentage point of Tom Seaver.  that "record" seems pretty attainable to me....

751 complete games -- Cy Young.

Beat that.

Well, actually, it was more like: "751 complete games! I'm Cy Young, bitch!" :-D

[Greg Berge]

"Mmmm, Be-atch!"

The single season CG record (75!) is safe as well.

Howard leads 1.195 to 1.202 after his one-goal performance last night.  If he holds Denver to 1 goal or less in 60 minutes, he has the record.  2 or more and it remains Lenny's.

My GAA cheat-sheet got me labelled an "Ãœberdork" by a UMass fan we met up with after the game.  I prefer the term Ãœbergeek myself.

Two more tidbits:

If the game goes to OT at 1-1, Denver must win before 12:27 of the second OT.
If the game goes to OT at 2-2, Denver must win before  2:22 of the 5th OT.

EDIT: If the game goes to OT at 2-2 the game must end (winner-irrelevant) before 2:22 of the 5th OT.  If the game miraculously stayed 2-2 past that point, Denver would have to win to keep Lenny's record intact.

[Ack]

Yeah - I know, very close. Almost as if they share that record, but you can't get away with saying that.

i calculated it out to 1.952 for howards GAA assuming uscho updated their stats page since the end of the game. that is with 26 goals against in 1305.216666 or 21.7536111 games. is that the correct count?

[jtwcornell91]

26 goals is not current; Howard finished with 27 goals in 1303:52 for a GAA of 1.196 vs Lenny's 1.202. :-/

I'm sure he'd rather have the NCAA title than the record, just like Lenny last year.

I'm glad Howard broke the record. Leneveu was the man but I'd rather have an upstate New York kid hold the record than a Canadian.

You sure it isn't 1.19 GAA by Howard? The USCHO numbers say 27 goals allowed in 1363:52 (minutes:seconds) or 22.731111111111111111111111111111 ad infinitum games. That's 1.1877993938801446866751393098055 GAA which rounds to 1.19. If it was 1.196 that would round to 1.20 and it would be a tie unless the NCAA decides to round to use four digits in GAA (three decimal places).

Still it was LeNeveu who broke a generation-old record. You remember the second guy to run a 4 minute mile? Not that that's a very useful comparison; one is a an old record; the other is a round-nunmber barrier.

Question is, can somebody get below 1.00 GAA in our lifetime? That would have meant 5 fewer goals allowed by Howard in his abbreviated season.

If Howard had thrown a shutout against Harvard (sucks) like he should have, his goals-against would have been 0.997 if my calculations are correct.

[jtwcornell91]

At the time I posted, USCHO's stats page hadn't updated, so I had to add the minutes played from the box score (which was less than 60 because he got pulled at the end).  I must have done it wrong.  (Anyway, it makes more sense this way, since he would have ended up 1.187 if he'd finished the game; to 1.188 is a more reasonable jump for a few fewer minutes played.)
