Quote from: billhowardApropos of the NYT, the daily newsstand price is $4 as of this month.

$120 a month to have your conscience assuaged for paying low taxes while people starve seems like an excellent deal.
Styles of The Times would say staying thin.

When I was in HS (1961-64), students could buy it for 15 cents per school week.

Living in New England, we subscribe to delivery of only the Sunday Times. The subscription includes complete electronic access to all daily issues of the Times.

Use the money you save by only paying for Sunday deliveries to buy a nice iPad, install the Times app, and spend a few dollars on a decent stylus pen, and you're good to go.

If you really want to be extravagant, put some more of the money you save on daily delivery into a good Zugu case for your iPad and research & buy a decent screen protector.

Dropping off our daughter in Ithaca for the new semester. We go to Collegetown Bagels and lo and behold a flock of hockey players are there getting food. My daughter happens to stand next to Shane in line. She is 5'9".  She is the same height as Shane.

This was in response to a much earlier conversation about our history of petite goalies.

He is listed at 6'0 on the Cornell site, 6'0 on elite prospects, 6'1 on hockeydb. For whatever that's worth.

Not worth much.  I am 6'2.5"  I am more than a half a head taller than Ian.  Take a look at last season's games with Sucks.  Gibson is allegedly 6'1" and watch how he stands in relation to the net as opposed to Ian's relative stature.  This goes back to the conversation from February.  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?

Gibson, Caron, Perets just last season in the ECAC. Not talking 6'6" but 6'1" or even an actual 6'0".  I trust my eyes and Ian looks noticeably smaller than those three for example.

I know there was the freakshow at Dartmouth, but is he any good?

I'll give you Perets, he's amazing and good riddance.

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.

They're not measured in their skates.
