I was using Duolingo, an app I'm mucking around with in an attempt to learn some German and Spanish, minding my own business, when I saw the attached stock image being used in the app. Looked a bit familiar! Looks it's from a road game at Thompson.

I was having a really hard time searching box scores for this picture, until I realized that we don't actually know that the Cornell player is scoring a goal in the image so it really can't be narrowed down from that. Dartmouth has had a goalie on their roster wearing #1 each year since 2001-02. The Cornell player seems to be wearing #20 but could it also be a #10 folded in such a way that it looks like a #20 in an action picture? So we've got a Cornell skater wearing most likely #20 or possibly #10, a Dartmouth goalie wearing #10, a Dartmouth skater wearing what I can really only tell is a two-digit number, in a game at Thompson (Cornell wearing red, green seats with backs). Does the Dartmouth jersey design give us any clue? Contrary to how I normally feel, it's frustrating that Cornell jerseys are always the same in this case.

Edit to add: This is off topic, but Duolingo is pretty cool.

The Cornell player looks like Evan Barlow, and the Dartmouth goaltender has an A on his sweater. So, I would guess that the photo was taken on November 17, 2007. Barlow scored on Mike Devine in the first period of that game.

The images are a bit of an extra clue, really, since "das Tor" means both "the gate" and "the goal" in the Fußball/Eishockey sense. Only one of the three images is of what we'd call a gate, and the other two are of goals...

Obligatory make up German Cornell cheer: "Auf gehts Rote, schießt ein Tor, schießt ein Tor, schießt ein To-o-or!"

Obligatory NSFW WTF:

This probably goes without saying, but:

Man, Germans are weird.
