Consecutive shutout minutes at Lynah?

[margolism]

Anyone know what the record is? Does Isles now hold it?

[imafrshmn]

Question:  Who holds the record for most consecutive shutout minutes at Lynah?

Answer.

[jtn27]

Well, Isles now has 315:11 consecutive shutout minutes at home, if you include the end of the Mercyhurst game (which I think you do, but if not then it's now at 305:00.) According to this document I found on the Athletics website Scrivens holds the shutout record with 267:11 but 2 of those games were in Albany so they don't count towards the home shutout record. I couldn't find the record for home shutouts anywhere.
Also, Iles is now halfway to David McKee's 2004-5 single season record of 10 shutouts.

From the ECAC game recap:

- The men's hockey team continued its historic run of shutouts within the confines of Lynah Rink on Saturday with a scoreless tie, marking the fifth consecutive home game in which the Big Red has not surrendered a goal -- a program first.

Long cry from not having a shutout until the second to last game, huh?

Interesting that you found that,Jim, but it does not definitively answer the question of whether or not Iles now holds the record for consecutive shutout minutes at Lynah. While I expect he does, there could have been a four game series of shutouts bracketed by longer goal-less stretches in the two non-shutout games.

Another fun curiosity is that only once before has Cornell had at least 5 shutouts in the portion of the season before New Years: in 1967-68 Ken Dryden had 5 on Nov 25 and Dec 2, 16, 18, and 30.  That was over an 11 game span.

Also, we shouldn't feel too bad about being shut out by Karpowich -- it was also his 5th shut out, albeit in 18 games.  Leading goaltenders in conference:

Funny what five shutouts in 6 games will do for you. A couple weeks ago he was toward the bottom of all these tables.

Yep (although only 4 of those counted in his ECAC stats).

View from section A was Karpowich stood on his head tonight. Too bad we couldn't have gotten our shot at him last night. And speaking of how good our travel partner has been, is anyone else incredibly excited for Colgate-Cornell weekend?

Interesting. Four of the top five are ECAC. Is this great goal tending, or weak offense?

[Trotsky]

Austin Smith is going to have about 50 goals by then.

Only 50?

I was only watching on Redcast so I couldn't really tell how good Karpowich looked, though from the past I do know he is a first rate goal-tender.  It is worrisome though the scoring slump we've been in recently.  Not every goalie we face can be having his best night.  Karpowich and Milan looked to really be at the top of their game, but SLU and Niagra goalies looked quite average and we only put in 1 on each of them.
