A hockey fan is hit by a puck at a game, dies and goes to heaven. He is greeted at the gates by St. Peter, who takes him in and gives him the grand tour. Halfway through their tour, they come across the heavenly hockey rink, where a game is being played. They stop to watch the game and the hockey fan sees one goaltender pull off save after save, laying flat on his belly kicking at pucks, diving side to side across the crease, snatching wayward pucks with an impossibly fast glove hand...it was an incredible sight to behold.
The hockey fan turned to St. Peter, totally awestruck, and asked "Who is that goaltender? He makes saves out of nowhere, stopping pucks he has no chance to stop!"
St. Peter made a dismissive hand gesture and said to the hockey fan
"That's just God, he thinks he is Miikka Kiprusoff"
