The February 2nd Hockey News has one page of NCAA coverage with a short column for each of the four major conferences. The ECAC one is about McKee and his streak of consecutive starts. Turns out he's very close (knock-on-wood) to breaking the school record held by Laing Kennedy '63 (56 games). The article doesn't appear available online.

Bet Laing saw at least twice as many shots.  ::yark::

Comparative sh/60, career:

L. Kennedy, 56 GP, 3381 Minutes, 1919 Shots, 34.1 shots per 60 minutes.
D. McKee,  53 GP, 3190 Minuutes, 1197 Shots, 22.5 shots per 60 minutes.

The ratios are:
1.52:1 shots per 60 minutes
1.60:1 total shots over interval

So the real ratio is a lot closer to 3:2

Yeah, I was blown away by the low shot totals McKee is facing this year, and it's even more amazing to me that Colgate's Silverthorn is facing only one more shot per game than McKee.  It seems like Colgate is learning how to play serious shutdown defense.
24 is the devil

Ya know, that's actually pretty scary.  For all of Mike's tenure, THE critical statistic that has divided Cornell from the rest of the ECAC has been sh/60.  It figures that Vaughan, (arguably) the next-best coach in the conference, would grab hold of an obviously successful strategy.

Even if everybody knows the formula, not everyone can (what a terrible word:) productize it.
