YugoRocketsFan Posted February 12, 2011 Report Share Posted February 12, 2011 Why don't NHL teams sign some random obese person to play as Goalkeeper? There would be no way to score a goal on them, they can just sit there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YugoRocketsFan Posted February 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2011 because they still need fast reflexes :\ If they are blocking the entire goal they don't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Universe Posted February 12, 2011 Report Share Posted February 12, 2011 Would have to be a pretty big dude and goalies need to be able to skate to get behind the net. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cessna Posted February 12, 2011 Report Share Posted February 12, 2011 haha...good question...probably because a really big fat dude would still need to be able to skate... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phightins Posted February 12, 2011 Report Share Posted February 12, 2011 (edited) Find me a goalie that does nothing but stand stationary in the crease. Chances are he sucks. Also, how many people, even "random obese" people, are as big as the net, or shaped like the net? Probably nobody.

Universe Posted February 13, 2011 Report Share Posted February 13, 2011 Taller goalies are becoming popular as they take more of the net in the butterfly but most of them can't get the up and down speed like the smaller goalies so either way it's a challenge.

EastCoastNiner Posted March 14, 2011 Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 This is exactly why fat people don't play goalie..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
