Why don't they just get a 600lb fat mf'er and just sit him in front of the goal? we have a volunteer Because even a 1200#er wouldn't completely cover the goal and a goodly number of players can snipe a puck through openings you'd not think a puck might fit. You could put 3-4 big, mobile, athletic Sumo guys with great stamina and flexibility all out in front of one goal in full pads and they're still gonna lose .

It's not a random, off the street guy, it's an "almost NHL" quality goalie. The clip said the highest he had ever played previously was "Junior B", which is a pretty long ways away from "almost NHL". Gotta feel great for the guy, even the Leafs fans were pulling for him. Be interested to know the last time an emergency goalie got that many minutes and what the result was.

How much did he get for the win, cash wise?
The other team must be feeling pretty ugly this morning.

I remember back in the day, Joe Kocur was the emergency goalie for the Detroit Red Wings. He would occasionally suit up for practice. His main job was right wing and enforcer. I bet nobody would have crashed the net if he ever had to suit up in a real game...

The other team must be feeling pretty ugly this morning. Some info here on "payment": https://www.sbnation.com/nhl/2018/3/30/17181908/blackhawks-scott-foster-emergency-goaltenderSeems if they offer the guy an Amateur Tryout they don't pay anything. Or a Pro tryout, he gets a one day contract, $500, and he gets to keep his jersey (which in the future might be worth a few dollars) Mr Ayers will likely be happy with the fame he acquired. Bummer if he signed a contract that allows the Canes to make a bunch of money off jersey sales with his name on them and he doesn't get a small cut at least. Geno
