Yet another honors student at Harvard deserves the Hobey Baker????

Here's hoping Harvard meets us in the final and *we* light him up.

Sweet thought.

McKee is 712/752=0.9468
Hypen is 880/929=0.9473

To four (or any greater number) decimals, McKee is ahead on save percentage.
Is this a meaningful difference?  Some months ago I think the consensus here was that three decimals was about the limit that anyone wanted to push, given the uncertainty in counting shots on goal.

McKee is ahead?

I sat right next to Mike V. in the press box for both Cornell games this weekend. As someone said earlier in the thread, he really does seem to have a lot of respect for Cornell, and in particular, its defensive system and ability to use size to its advantage. I thought he was a nice guy. And...he went to Harvard, so it's not much of a surprise that he tried to show Dov in the best possible light. Big deal.

After all, if I had written the article, I would have mentioned that McKee deserves to win the Hobey Baker Award because he is better at hunting :-P

Yep!
Andy W pointed out ( http://elf.elynah.com/read.php?1,60640 ) before the game that if Hypen let in two more goals than McKee, McKee would take the lead.  It happened. :-D

You can get the raw numbers from USCHO (link in the lead post of this thread) and double check the arithmentic.  They give saves and GA, the sum of which is obviously the SOG.

You do realize that the goalie with the greater number has the better save percentage, don't you?  Hyphen is still ahead, by 0.0005.

And Andy's point was premised on the two goalies facing a similar number of shots, which they most certainly did not.

Ooof.  One too many glasses of wine with dinner dulls the senses to such subtleties.  
I will retreat to the argument that there is no justification for calculating the percentage to more than three decimals.
