Most people agree, you basically have to be insane to be a hockey goalie. Who, in their right mind, would voluntarily be hit with frozen-hard vulcanized rubber pucks shot at 100+ mph? And to think they used to play without helmets!
For this, and numerous reasons below, we all understand goalies are a breed of their own. The best part is we don’t even have to prove it, they do it for us. Tendys are batsh!t crazy!
They have some unique preferences…
Including badass goalie pad designs.
Some have unique rituals and superstitions.
Sometimes they prefer alternative methods of making a save.
Goalies consider red metal posts to be some of their closest friends…
…when they’re not fighting them!
And frankly, they’ll fight just about anybody…
Opposing players…
Opposing goalies…
And even the refs!
They’re an angry sort of people…
That love breaking their sticks…
Especially when they get pulled…
And sometimes they forget they’re even playing goalie…
Who knew goalies could dangle….
Or scored goals…on themselves!
And then, of course, there’s Ilya Bryzgalov…
Do you agree? Are goalies nuts or what?! Comment below with your favorite example of a tendy acting a fool…
