Re: Stock image used in language learning app - 9 years ago
jtwcornell91 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!" Oby Josh '99 - Hockey

Re: Stock image used in language learning app - 9 years ago
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 lby Josh '99 - Hockey

Trotsky DafatoneEveryone with the Sens says Greening's crazy fast, and while he certainly could skate around some defenders at Cornell, I didn't remember him being lightning fast.Huh. I'd have said he positioned himself well and was efficient, but fast? News to me, too (at least when comparing NHL camp invitees who I'd imagine are insanely fast.)He narrowly lost to Carl Hagelin (who is definiteby Josh '99 - Hockey

Ronald '09 Things are silent on the Douglas Murray front #NHL #crickets— Andy Strickland (@andystrickland) July 3, 2014 Could be the end of his career. Pretty good run for a while.Pains me to say it, but he ranked among the bottom handful of defensemen in the league this year in the advanced stats I'm finding, in addition to being singled out for looking slow in the playoffs.

Re: Bartender killed, Simeon's destroyed in runaway truck accident - 9 years ago
Kyle Rose If I were a betting man, I'd wager the driver did not make the turn toward Seneca because he was going too fast at the bottom of the hill and feared a rollover. It's not clear how many pedestrians were on the east end of the Commons at the time, but under the circumstances the building may have been the best option. Whoever is responsible for the maintenance and loading of the truckby Josh '99 - John Spencer Is Dead

Re: Cornell Men's Lacrosse 2015 - 9 years ago
billhoward Consider the opposite, that people in big urban areas are the ones more used to lengthy commutes by car or mass transit. To live in the burbs outside Manhattan and get to work, it's an hour door to door, or more. In rural areas with less traffic, such as Ithaca, you can reach affordable-housing communities 10 minutes from town. Several Cornell coaches live in Lansing and that's 10-15 mby Josh '99 - Other Sports

Trotsky Josh '99My first job after graduating from Cornell was near Elmira; my manager commuted from Scranton every day, 120 miles each way. Bought a Honda Civic just for his commute because it had really good gas mileage. I think maybe people are just accustomed to longer commutes once you get outside the Boston-DC corridor and similarly urbanized areas around the country.It's not that unusualby Josh '99 - Other Sports

cbuckser Josh '99LeNeveu has never played in Trenton (in Princeton a couple of times, true, but not for over 10 years) and never played against the Trenton ECHL team that no longer exists, so why is there an article about him (about as long as the one about Martin St. Louis) by the Trenton local paper's hockey writer?

pfibiger Leaving after 3 years. Wonder what this means for Scott Garrow? Will he get a shot at the HC position? I imagine a new head coach will bring in his own assistants.Still surprises me a little that Bob Prier is old enough to have had and lost a head coaching job.

If I were to say to you, "France beat Canada today," what sport would you think I was talking about? Would hockey be your very last guess? Because France beat Canada today in hockey. Yes, obviously many of Canada's best players are playing in the Stanley Cup playoffs, but even so, it's a team of NHL players, many of whom are pretty good NHL players, whereas France's team is 38-year-oby Josh '99 - Hockey

It's because he's 6-foot-3 and 240 pounds, and you know that's how big he is because it's repeated literally every time he's mentioned on a television broadcast. There's nothing else to say about him. He's big and physical and slow and an awful skater and unskilled and big and physical and almost uselesby Josh '99 - Hockey

Re: New Rules? - 9 years ago
upprdeck basketball got rid of the jump ball after every score, why cant hockey be progessive.Being progressive is fine (I'm on board with, for example, hybrid icing), but I don't see why "progress" is always (in hockey rules discussions) assumed to be an equivalent concept to "more goals". Edit to add: or "eliminating ties".by Josh '99 - Hockey
