This is my favourite story of the week. 6’7″ web site editor for the Washington Capitals, Brett Leonhardt warmed up with the Capitals and sat on the bench as the backup when #1 goalie Jose Theodore injured himself during practice in the morning, and the team couldn’t get their AHL goalie there in time for the beginning of the game. Leonhardt used to play Division III College hockey.
There was probably a fair chance of him playing too, as the starting goalie, Johnson, was also carrying an injury. Sadly, about 10 minutes into the game the AHL goalie arrived, dressed, and he was pulled.
There’s still hope for us all yet.
Same thing happened in Vancouver not long ago. They scrambled to get a goalie who I believe was the 3rd string goalie for UBC in the CIS. He dressed for the whole game. When the starter pulled up lame during the game, you could see all color escape from his face. Fortunately or maybe unfortunately, he didn’t see any minutes.
Sweet. So next time the Red Devils are playing here in Dunedin I can just knee cap the other Dunedin goalies for the priveldge of getting killed by a bunch of Cantabs?
I suspect Ryan, that both you and I would have to knee cap quite a long list of people before we’d be at the top of the goalkeeping list.
