 Not only did McKee tie Dryden's 13 shutout record, but he set the all-time Cornell record for shutouts in a regular season, with 8.

If I'm not mistaken, LeNeveu had 9 shutouts in the 2002-2003 season

And a question:  do the GAA and SV% stats only include RS games or does it extend into divison playoffs??

[puff]

Two of LeNevue's SHUTOUTS (edited:not saves ) came in the playoffs.

[aznxjz]

ah...I am humbled  Anyone know the RS shutout record by an NCAA team?  Was it 11?

You're not mistaken :-). LeNeveu did indeed have 9 shutouts, but I said "record for shutouts in a regular season," and in the regular season, he had 7.

Just got back from the game.  I thought Cornell played better tonight than they have since probably the second Colgate game.  I also thought they played their best 60 minute game of the season.  There were probably only two shifts the entire game in which Cornell didn't have a tight grasp on the game.  I think that Cornell could have won 10-0 if they had kept their foot on the gas pedal after the first period, but they instead, sat back a little bit, effectively allowing Clarkson to keep some dignity on their senior night.  Additionally, it is pretty obviously that Clarkson is a very likely opponent in two weeks so they can trounce them then.  O'Byrne looked better than he has all season.

My impressions from the game: Clarkson has an extremely nice arena, however their team was despicable, and there were hundreds of empty seats on senior night, the last home game of the season, and against a top 3 team in the nation (our beloved Big Red). So do not be fooled by the strong traveling contingent of Clarkson, their fan base was disappointing to say the least.

Note: If you want a Big Mac at the McDonalds in Potsdam, you may be waiting a half an hour becuase of their inept employees. To me, this is a metaphor for the entire barren wasteland that is the North Country.

I'm sure you mean clever, but maybe cornell had 10+ cheers about a large butcher's knife

[puff]

i was just going to say the same thing. From the other stats presented, i would have thought that Clarkson would win the cleaver cheer department.

Man, what a weekend, and particularly what a game to finish out the regular season.  I have to agree with Ari that this is the best the team has looked since the Colgate weekend.  I think the "loss" that the team "needed" did indeed arrive last night with the OT win over SLU(t).  It must have given them precisely the proper kick in the butt that they needed to energize themselves for postseason play.  The first period was of course completely dominated by Cornell, and then they just sat on the lead for the next two periods.  Normally I would be disappointed in this strategy, but it looked like they really were trying hard, and Safety Sieve Leggio got a few lucky bounces as well.  In any case, it might have worked out for the best if Cornell didn't wholly crush Clarkson on their Senior Night, as it might have provoked fights and game DQs that neither team would really want going into the postseason.  There were a few bullshit calls made against Cornell, and at times Clarkson turned (reverted?) into a real goon squad.  But in the end, Cornell kept it together for the win and to preserve McKee's shutout.  I can't wait to see who we play in two weeks.

[calgARI '07]

Clarkson always causes concern as they really don't appear to be very well disciplined.  I thought Cornell played with a great deal of discipline and composure tonight.

[/q]In Ryan Miller's Hobey year, 2000-01, 10 of his 11 shutouts came in the regular season.  I have to imagine that's the record, if such records are kept, since the 11 definitely is.

(I didn't realize this before looking it up, but 6 of Miller's shutouts that year came within a 7-game span stretching from New Year's to January 23rd, with just 1 goal allowed over the course of those 7 games.  The one playoff shutout came at a good time, against Michigan in the CCHA championship game.)

Miller's backup, Joe Blackburn got one of those shutouts, 1/5/01 vs. Yale.  Miller had "only" 10 total shutouts that year.  McKee is two short of the single-season record.

Excellent thoughts and perhaps even the team sensed or Schafter talked along the same lines: A 3-0 lead is pretty much locked in as a win (you'd think not say those words aloud) and maybe better to not figuratively knock pride since they a) might start fights leading to DQs for Cornell the next game and b) we might play them down the road in Ithaca so don't give them motive for revenge.

Pus it's not as if we were going to catch 1974 BU for that single season ECAC goals scored mark.
