LaxPower Back-Up Stick

Now it's official. Cornell '24 recruit Michael Melkonian, FO/Midfield from South Side, named Nassau County player of the year by Newsday. Here is what was written - very impressive The faceoff X marked the spot where Michael Melkonian dominated, helping the Cyclones win games and helping this speci...

The Council voted to eliminate the voluntary coach designation across Division I, instead including those coaches within a new limit for countable coaches in each of the applicable sports. ... The coaching limits rules take effect July 1 [2023]. https://www.ncaa.com/news/ncaa/article/2023-01-11/nca...

Of course a shot can move faster (forward) after bouncing. Its total energy can only decrease with hitting the ground but if it changes its angle of movement, more of the energy can be directed horizontally than vertically and it can accelerate towards the goal. For a ball that's not spinning, cons...

Shortening the shot clock makes the game more interesting because it makes the game more competitive. It puts less value on the FOGO controlling most of the game and running out the clock. Again, professional sports are the business model, including the professional lacrosse league. Wake up I am fu...

Shortening the shot clock is a terrible idea.

Easy way to make the FO a scrum: FOGO stickheads flat on the ground at the start, ball on the ground between them, not under either stickhead. Best move is just to swipe at the ball.

No money in it. Whoever bought the old laxpower site tried to monetize it and failed.

I agree that 0 or 1 doesn't matter to the game, but the official scorekeeper can take a bow for getting it right.

That shot was going wide. McNaney snagged it, but it would not have gone in. Scorekeeper got it right, that was not a save.

Cornell's goalie Wyatt Knust had a better save percentage than LE did in that game.

Wouldn’t you have pulled McNaney? He might have one save today. Pulling the starter worked so well for Virginia ... In the game Lars pulled his starter, the backup basically won the game for the Hoos. It’s the second game you’re thinking about. I'm not convinced that Nunes would not have recovered ...

McNaney zero saves ...

1977. Cornell led 10-1 over JHU at the half and 16-3 in the 4th q when the subs came in. Final score 16-8. Cornell came in undefeated and JHU had one loss, a one goal loss to Cornell. Best part of that one (played at UVa) was the PA announcement near the end that the Cornell Club of Virgina was hos...

10th best save percentage in D1 this year and you're the first goalie to get the Tewy?

1 PM start per Terps twitter

The women's game had zero minutes of overhype and irrelevant blather instead of 45 minutes, which does not qualify as "fine" announcing IMO.

I still miss Entenmann's Sour Cream Chip and Nut Loaf.

Maybe Liam will bring it back if he (totally undeservedly) gets the Tewy ...

If you're jonesing for some lax today, the women's championship game between the defending champs Northwestern "Lake Show", with last year's Tewy winner and all-time NCAA career goal scorer Izzy Scane, and 7th-consecutive championship game appearance (with one win) Boston College was a gre...
