Cornell Goaltenders

[redheadfanatic]

So who is going to be in goal tomorrow?
We have seen both goalies highest and worst points.
is this the end of the Troy starting streak?

ouch not a good time of year for this loss. let us hope the rest of the season is the opposite

[Omie]

We better see Scrivens tomorrow, I'm surprised Davenport didn't get pulled during the game. He was coughing up rebounds like no other.

[redheadfanatic]

That's for sure.
Have we seen this much inconsistency in goaltending before?
I know that no goalie is going to be perfect, but from going from a shutout to allowing 5, really 6 goals, something seems wrong.

I think that's a little too much to ask.

Consistency is the major problem. I did notice Davenport gives up a lot of rebounds, but the same can be said about Scrivens. My bet is on Scrivens starting tomorrow.

This late in the season Schafer tends to pick a horse and ride him to the end. It'll probably be Davenport from here on out.

Sorry, I definately meant to say allowing 5 (really 6) goals

Including David LeNeveu's freshman year when Underhill would be the All-America goaltender but LeNeveu just may have been the better goalie. Who knows if we would have gotten further with a different goalie in the nets.

[quote redheadfanatic]Have we seen this much inconsistency in goaltending before?[/quote]Eddy Skazyk could run very hot and cold, but for my money, 1998's Ian Burt and Jason Elliott (as a senior) are the all time inconsistent goaltending.

How about these stretches:

A 5 game period giving up 5 goals, followed by 3 games giving up 16.

Or, everybody's favorite:

2-0
2-5
2-1
3-4
0-11
4-1
3-1
2-5
1-5

Elliott wound up with pretty good stats that year -- I'd forgotten what an up-and-down season that was for him.  (Burt hardly played at all until Elliott got injured with about five games left)

I would vote for the 93-94 season as a monument to goaltending inconsistency, although I suppose you can't use the term "inconsistent" if both goalies are awful.  Still, those of you griping about Coach Schafer being quick with the hook this season should be happy you didn't have to live through this mess.  A look at the stats from 93-94 (courtesy of http://www.tbrw.info/) show Eddy Skazyk appearing in 22 games and Andy Bandurski playing in 19.  The Big Red played 30 games that year; simple math shows that there was a goaltending swap in eleven of those.  It culminated in a memorable, stomach-churning 9-1 loss at RPI which saw the goalies get swapped three times in the same game.

I hope Schafer finds the courage to put in Scrivens. But hey if we lose, at least we'll get to watch more hockey in Lynah (which wouldn't be so bad, right?)!!

How so?  We get one series at home, no matter what.  The only question is if we get a week to rest up before it happens, rather than having to win a series at home and then having to win ANOTHER series on the road vs. a rested team.

I think it's interesting that Scrivens has only let in more than 3 goals in one game, whereas Davenport has let in 4 or more at least 3 times off the top of my head.

In Scrivens last string, he let in only 1 goal in 4 straight games, then 3 in a tie.

Davenport had a nice start letting in 1 goal total in 2 games, but now has let in 9 in 2 games, in this 4 game swing.

They may both be inconsistent, but I believe Scrivens' worst hasn't been as bad, and to me he looks like a more talented dynamic goalie.
