ExiledInIllinois Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 (edited) If he was a goalie in some other minor/amateur league... How hard is it to plug the net for 14 minutes and being spotted 6 goals. Suppose the Blackhawks could have lost if all 7 shots on goal go in. But, your team in front, may play differently. Play keep away. Not taking anything away from him... Yet, maybe the position of goaltender a little. It has to be thee ONE position in all of sports where a weekend duffer can, MAY get by reasonably (<<<key word there) well with above average reflexes, skating abilities, etc... A similar situation presented itself for game one of the Stanley Cup Finals in the 1930s... They pulled a drunk outta a bar... But, than again, that took balls in pre-facemask days. And he won the whole game. Yet, then again, they kept the puck on the ice back then. But any drunk off the street can beat Toronto. Just saying.

You need a goalie. Edited March 30, 2018 by ExiledInIllinois Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ridgewaycynic2013 Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 Run 'Ryan Vinz' through Wikipedia and you'll see the story of how and why the Sabres activated the EBUG (Emergency Back Up Goalie) in early 2014. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
