Could a morbidly obese goalie shut out an NHL team?

Recommended Posts

Got this in my inbox today. A bit of a long read, but intriguing is probably the best way to describe it. Although we all have pondered it at some point in time.

What about morbidly obese siamese twins?

would that count as one skater or two?

depends on if they have two skates or four...or maybe three.

Caught that on Fark this morning and picked up the book today. Humerous and interesting read> Especially "Could a regular guy play in the WNBA?"

OK, I now have my holiday reading. Thanks guys!

Simple, get Reebok or THG to develop pizza scented jerseys and get of the forwards to skate behind the net... gets the guy moving east to west.

Better wear the Therma blades, though. If he catches the guy, the goal may have to come shorthanded.

there was a beer commercial a few years ago that had a big ole fat goalie back into the net and stopping everything. He was so big they should have oiled him up to get him to squeeze in.

Have you guys ever seen a box lacrosse goalie? The net is only 4'x4'. The biggest guy you could find with an assload of padding was pretty much the ticket when I was growing up.

Still it was an amusing story to read.

During highschool along with hockey I played lacrosse(00-01,01-02) and one of the teams we played had a goalie that was no less than 5 feet wide. Lacrosse goals are 6' by 6', there was no room left to score besides down low, but for some reason everybody shot high and we of course lost.

The sad part, is that when Charles Wang bought the Islanders, he had been quoted as considering the idea of sticking a Sumo wrestler in net.

I guess he did a full 180 since Dipietro is 5' 11" 185.

Tweeet! Match penalty for Attempt to Injure / Deliberate Injury. For biting.

when i was in HS we played against a team from an indian reservation not too far away. their goalie must've been 6'3" and at least 260lb. he didnt leave much open, but 5-hole was money on that guy, even from the blue line.

We played a team last week and their goalie was probably about 6-4 and took up about 3 feet of the net. But my god, having him actually MOVE on breakaways scored about 6 goals for us.
