St. Lawrence at Cornell 2023-02-18

I like Ian a lot, but drives me crazy that we always have undersized goalies.

Quick > big?  Maybe?  I dunno.

Do big quick goalies go anywhere but CHL?

I'd prefer quick and reasonable sized (read: Dominik Hasek), but I'll take big over quick with our defensive style.

It's not really about any one year, it just seems like there's some sort of preference for smaller goalies going back years, since scrivens, which I just don't get.  Ben, McKee, and Leneveu were all bigger. Great as Galadja was, its great to have a bigger guy.

The trend is toward taller goalies. A less-tall goalie with hockey smarts and good reflexes would still be a very good goalie and if he doesn't make the NHL, Cornell still gets good value.

Early 1980s I was at some quasi-sports, quasi-political event in Boston. Talked to Bobby Orr. He lists at 6-0 in NHL bios. I am 5-7. I looked him pretty much straight in the eyes. Orr made the most of whatever height he really was. Maybe 5-9 or 5-10.

Ray's Lussier's 1970 final game, final goal photo for the Boston Record American is one of the most famous sports photos ever.

Maybe the height was how tall he was when he was in his skates!

I'm 5'8 and he's taller than me.  He's often been at Harvard home games when I've been there, so take a gander for yourself at the lynah east game.  Iirc, if you're looking towards the end of the rink where the entrances are, he sits in the right-hand corner section.
