    No, but I certainly will now, C68...

    What an awesome concept!

    If we're talking terrestrials, my posthumous choice would be Luciano Pavarotti (can you imagine him singing during a shorthanded power play?)...

    As far as extraterrestrials go, any lead would be safe with Jabba The Hut in goal. Yep...

    I presume that you are talking about Ice Hockey. However, field hockey has some striking similarities - and I played for a number of teams over a 14 year period.

    I can tell you with no fear of contradiction that in the UK, Belgium, Netherlands and France there are some VERY heavy goalkeepers. I mean HUGE!!

    And then, they put the padding on...

    ^^Exactly. A fat goalie would be monstrously beaten and destroyed, like Piggy in "Lord of the Flies".

    Thanks, C68!

    I'd missed it before I replied initially ...
    I think it was your HIDING the link in the word "this" that threw me off.
    Oh well, at least I got a giggle or 2 out of you.

    The actual link itself was funny!

    The afternoon guys on the sportstalk radio station have been pushing for a sumo goalie for a couple of years now. They also would like to see an all sumo olympics with traditional olympic sports like gymnastics, track and field, and all the rest.

    Considering how much padding an NHL goalie wears these days, they practically look like impenetrable walls already.

    I'd be willing to go with this obese goalie concept provided that opposing players would be able to bribe the goalie out of the net with a cheeseburger or an onion bloom.

    Savvy fans could sprinkle the ice with M&Ms, Skittles, etc., and scouting reports should definitely identify a goalie's favorite snack(s)...
