...Grumet-Morris isn’t faring much better in the preliminary fan vote for the award either. He’s not only trailing McKee, but is also, at least in the eyes of the self-selecting group of voters, worthy of no better than 10th place. Among goaltenders...

Particularly dedicated Michigans with an excess of free time on their hands aside, the consistent and widespread downplaying of Grumet-Morris’ performance this season is mind boggling. That’s not to say, of course, that Tarkki, Northeastern’s Keni Gibson, Bowling Green’s Jordan Sigalet—curently trailing only Tarkki in fan voting—and a host of other goaltenders from around the country aren’t having fine seasons. Many of them are, of course, as is the case each year. But a cursory glance...

...then, does Grumet-Morris’ name not immediately precede or follow McKee’s in discussion of the nation’s top netminders? I’d speculate the answer is twofold. First, Cornell has something of a reputation as a goaltender factory—remember Ken Dryden or, more recently, David LeNeveu?—and Harvard doesn’t.

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...
