Second, the disparity between McKee’s GAA (1.29) and Grumet-Morris’ (1.55) both overshadows other factors which explain away the difference between the two figures and distracts attention away from Grumet-Morris’ narrower advantage in save percentage. Grumet-Morris’ GAA is inflated by one lousy statistical performance which was largely beyond his control—Harvard’s 8-6 win over Princeton on Nov. 13, in which the Tigers scored two power-play goals and a third with an extra skater in the contest’s final...
Suddenly, the save-percentage and other comparisons become all the more relevant. Yes, McKee’s GAA is just 0.8 percent lower than Grumet-Morris,’ but that indicator fails to take into account both the caliber of the opponent and the quantity of shots faced...
...starts this season, McKee has recorded 563 saves, or 20.9 per outing, allowing a goal for every 16.1 shots he turns aside. Grumet-Morris, on the other hand, has notched 685 saves in just 24 appearances, good for 28.5 saves per evening, while allowing a goal for every 18.5 shots he saves. Logically, then, if McKee had faced the same number of shots—not even shots per-game, but shots—his goals-against average would not be 1.29, but 1.58, 0.03 higher than Grumet-Morris’. Facing the same volume of shots on goal...
...doesn’t he face as many shots as Grumet-Morris does? Cornell’s defense and Harvard’s are comparably capable, so that must not be it. The Big Red’s schedule, however, is notably weaker. Obviously the two teams have the same ECAC schedule, but the Crimson has a decidedly more difficult non-conference slate...
...Grumet-Morris, on the other hand, has held BC, BU, and Maine to one goal apiece, Northern Michigan to zero—including overtime—and Northeastern to two, the second of which was scored in double overtime...
