Dave McKee vs. Yann Danis

[M Netravali]

Danis's stats are really starting to tail off...

[Dart~Ben]

They definitely vote before the playoffs start, or Stempniak wouldn't have gotten shafted last year (but I'm not bitter or anything).

[Section A]

Only ECAC games/stats are considered for the Dryden Award, right? Well, assuming they are (and I'm 99 % sure of it), here are the stats right now:

Rk Name               GP   W-L-T    MIN  GA  SV  SV% GAA 
1 David McKee, Fr, COR 20 11-6-3 1196:41 28 419 .937 1.40 
2 Yann Danis, Sr,   BN 20 12-6-2 1202:51 35 610 .946 1.75 

McKee's GAA is much better, and the save percentage isn't too far off.

For comparison, last year, LeNeveu (17-2-1) had a 1.15 GAA and a .940 save percentage in 20 ECAC games (recall that Marr played the other 2).

EDIT: I meant to reply to the last post on the thread but somehow I didn't.... ::screwy::

Statistically, McKee is having one of the best seasons in goal in Cornell history.  If he wasn't coming on the heels of LeNeveu, he would be getting a lot more hype.

The scary thing is, I can't see him leaving as an underclassman, and the team is going to get better the next couple of years.  We may see "David, Son of David" numbers from McKee.

Cornell hockey -- the House of David.

Ben, are you implying that you believe that Stempniak was the best goalie in the ECAC last season?

[Jeff Hopkins \'82]

Works for me.  Must have something to do with that upcoming playoff against the Golden Goliaths.   :-P

Danis will win.  Better save%, seniority and the overall feeling that McKee has a credible defense in front of him but Danis is forced to do it by himself.  I don't know the ECAC save numbers, but in all games they have both given up 48 goals but Danis has 215 more saves (and a larger edge in save%, .944 to .926.)

This was a hell of a year for McKee, though, and he will be the ROY and the preseason favorite to take home goalie honors next year.

[Greg Berge]

Ihnacak might be ROTY, but McKee sure made a great argument for it down the stretch (6 GA in his final 7 RS games).

In conference play, Danis made 660 saves to McKee's 464 -- a gap of 196/22 = 8.9 per game.

McKee would have done better in the ROTY / All ECAC standings if he'd traded six of his one-goal games for three shutouts and three two-goal games. I haven't done the lookup, but who has the most shutouts plus one-goal games this year?

I posted this before this past weekend:

....so add 1 to Brown and 2 to Cornell.

In another fun little slight guaranteed to get some blood boiling here, INCH listed their top picks for goaltender of the year.  Danis is #1, Silverthorn is #5, and McKee is lumped in a bubble category.

They're quick to point out that that Brown is 40th in the country in scoring offense, but seem to not have noticed that Cornell is 42nd.

They do mention this in the rookie rankings from a few days earlier:

No I'm implying simply that Stempniak's omission from the All-ECAC teams was proof they voted before the playoffs. He pretty much singlehandedly beat Colgate last year in the quarterfinals (4-4-8 in 3 games).
