They are usually more subtle about it, like waiting until the guy is actually close and then "bumping" it "accidentally" as opposed to just lifting it up and chucking it.

It sounds like it would be really hard to do jumping jacks in ice skates.

It's not fun, no.

Okay, standing there and waving your arms a whole bunch. Come on, use your imagination.

*a monkey* *play goalie*

Yeah. It's actually the best move he could have made in that situation.

Also, he stopped the penalty shot.

Also, the AHL changed the rule so that, if this happens again, the offending goaltender gets a game misconduct, the breakaway team gets a penalty shot, they get to select any player to take the penalty shot, and the replacing goaltender has to face the penalty shot. In other words, they should have change the rule so that it's an automatic goal, but they were pussies, so they did everything they could think of _but_ that.

I don't get why the goalie wouldn't at least try. If he gets beat, well, who could blame him? But if he somehow manages to pull off an insane save, he's going to be in highlight reels basically forever.

Because athletes are paid to try and win.

Forgive me, I'm a Leafs fan, so that's news to me.
