How many minutes has Lacher gone without allowing a goal?  Obviously
at least 240 (4 x 60)...according to the 89-90 College Hockey Record
Manual, the record was set in 1953-54 when North Dakota's Gerard
(or George, as he was listed elsewhere) Schultz racked up 249:40 of
shutout hockey.  It does sound like Lacher is the new record holder;
if anyone can post his new record, please do...
 
BTW, Lacher smashed the old LSSU record, 152:50 by Darrin Madeley from
12/6-13, 1992.  I don't know if this was the CCHA record since I could
not find a listing for shutout minutes in the CCHA guide.  Thanks to
John Haeussler who provided me with the LSSU guide earlier this season.
