...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. The reputation of a Big Red netminder, independent of his stats, is automatically enhanced by the fact that he attends Cornell. I’d hazard to guess that if Grumet-Morris and McKee...
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...
...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 per night, McKee??€™s GAA would exceed...
...Harvard—mired in a 1-for-17 slump on its power play and just one night removed from an uncharacteristically poor offensive performance in which its forwards generated little traffic in front—continued to swarm McKee??€™s net, and, 4:54 into the third period, finally broke through...
