Here is an article for all the "####ty" goalies out there...


Best Quote is " while great goalies are busy making hockey boring, ####ty goalies are making hockey awesome. They’re giving hockey more and better orgasms than all the puckbunnery** in Canada has lo these manyyears."

I loved the part about the Rookie who hadn't scored on him. I remember my first goal. I think they goalie cried the rest of the game. When I saw him after the game his eyes were still red and swollen. I think he took it pretty hard.

Great article, I can relate to this

Loved this:

"Every time a ####ty goalie suits up, they’re putting on many hundreds of dollars worth of equipment in order to do something unbelievably difficult that is likely to result in many different forms of indignity and humiliation. And why? So that the rest of us can have fun. So that all you great skaters can get fancy, awesome, triple deke goals that make you feel like you coulda made the NHL; so that all of us terrible skaters can get flukey, weird, deflection-off-the-ass, tip-over-the-glove goals.?

FYP... it's Ellen! She always writes great hockey articles and they come from an interesting perspective because she doesn't have the baggage most of us do; she only came to the game a few years ago. Stuff lifelong hardcore fans sort of take for granted she'll key on and the result is a lot of "wow, I never looked at it that way, that's pretty insightful!"

Yes I can relate ... I only started watching hockey in 06. I never tried to play until a couple of years ago.
