William Sangrey notes that many of the leading goaltenders in the
NCAA were from the ECAC.
 
One possiblity (let's just give a little more ammunition to the ECAC
detractors among us) is that their are a disproportionate number of
weak teams, both offensively and defensively, in the conference. The
goaltenders of the best teams would then tend to have artificially
depressed GAAs.
 
So, would somebody with a decent stats package give us the standard
deviation in team scoring for each of the four Div. I conferences? If
the above hypothesis is correct, we'd expect a significantly higher
variance for the ECAC.
