And what I'm saying is that he's not a spring chicken with a history of injuries that needs to pay better attention to what his body is telling him for the benefit of the team. So that goals like Weise's don't happen.
There's a bunch of examples of goalies pulling themselves from the game.
The most recent one that comes to mind was when Rinne was replaced by Saros in their game against the Flames.
