One has the huge advantage of playing behind one of the best college programs in the nation and the other has the huge disadvantage of playing behind a very mediocre team in his league. Again, if you actually watch the two goaltenders play you'd quickly come to conclusion which has the better skill set and has the greatest potential. It's like watching Jonas Hiller and Frederik Andersson while playing for the Ducks. Demko will be exposed when he doesn't play behind the top ranked Hockey East defense and McDonald will impress more when he plays behind a good defensive system.

Seriously man. Strep away from the keyboard. There isn't a single logical reason to get so upset here.
Context is as important as results. I'll give you that. But there's an awful lot of people who disagree with your assessment. What's worse than dismissing statistics is talking about Boston College and McDonald's team like you watch them all the time and make up some reasons. Goalies in front of good college teams will have it easier than a leaky QMJHL team. Fine. That doesn't mean your assessment is more valid than Craig Button or anyone else
