Yeah I imagine there was quite a bit of volatility game to game.

Overall:
BSU: .911
Min: .923
UMD: .921
MSU: .895
OSU: .932
SCS: .912
STT: .902
WIS: .932

(I discount ENG and keep this all by hand. I perform regular checks but there may be some errors.)

NCAA average was .918 and median .922 I think. So as a whole the conference had pretty strong goaltending. Tops was Northeastern at .959 and worst Union at .880 for some reference.

Thanks for these stats. It's crazy that our keepers are in an exact tie with the Badgers' goalies. Presumably that tie will be broken next Saturday.

(OK, can't resist) Unless somebody wins on an empty-net goal.

It's save percentage, so it doesn't require an EN to stay tied.

I think the idea is that one of the two goalies is going to give up more goals that the other head-to-head next weekend, and so that losing goalie's percent would drop enough to break the tie.

Aha, But!

one goalie could give up 1 goal on 20 shots and the other 2 on 40 shots which is the same save percentage

You guys are doing a heck of a job of wringing all the fun out of a joke.

The ENGWG is one of my favorite things in hockey when the losing team scores another after an ENG makes it a 2-goal game.

It's my dream to have a season where everyone gives up and allows at least one ENG.

(The joke was a reference to Ohio State pulling their goalie in a tie game vs Bemidji a couple weeks ago, and then Bemidji throwing the puck the length of the ice and getting it across the line with something like 0.4 seconds left on the clock.)

Didn't need anything that complicated back when Brad Shepherd was reffing. He'd get confused about which team he was going to penalize and how the delayed penalty thing worked, fooling more than one goalie into leaving while play continued.
