Mentioning a bag of rabid squirrels ... hmmmm, Ms. C., either I've been reading your blog too long or my own twisted take leaves me to conjure up an image of a certain beloved (always funny and insightful blogger) female goalie nutting some poor, unsuspecting forward attempting to invade the nest. :) :) :) <br /><br />Great theories ... protecting the nest brings to mind stable, family-man types, like Nolan Schaefer. Wacky instability, Patrick Roy. Mysterious, hero-moment type, ohhh, you so nailed it with Fleury. And who can forget Anton Khudovin's 23rd birthday shut-out? <br /><br />Seems like there are about as many reasons to love a goalie as there are to love the game itself. Even tho we all know that hockey is as close to perfect as a game can get, I bet there are as many deeply personal reasons as there are hockey fans, as to why we devote ourselves to this awesome game. It's like that internal compass you mentioned, points Hockey. It doesn't get better than that.CatTricknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8705820500334920463.post-77430815961045810802009-08-26T12:10:17.700-05:002009-08-26T12:10:17.700-05:00LOL Ms. C, I was talking about skaters being two w...LOL Ms. C, I was talking about skaters being two way.

You control what you do, how you react. Its the most individual part of hockey. If you are a winger, you got 2 other people you gotta be looking out for. Dmen have a partner. A goalie is basically just you. Hockey is a team sport but if the goalie is off (or on) it can really hamper (or help) the rest of the guys. I hope that made sense, it was difficult to put into words at this moment.

I also do not like to see sad goalies, unless they're punks like Giguere. Those guys can be lit up and I'm cool with it. :)sarahhttp://www.twitter.com/salty_birdienoreply@blogger.com
