 |
|
I just did a quick google search and found so many gems from goalies or about goalies. They are 100% stolen off some website but they are still awesome.
"There is no position in sport as noble as goaltending" - Vladislav Tretiak, former great Russian goaltender
or
"Playing goal is like being shot at" - Jaques Plante

I thought they were cool
Anyone else got any favourites? |

| Read one in Goalie's World from Turco. Not restricted to goaltending but: Stats are like bikinis: they show a lot but they don't show everything. |

I never thought this one was particularly clever. I just chalked it up to a guy on the spot, trying to be witty in a second language.
Or maybe he likes to stuff his rings in his ears? |

It's absolutely clever! "Hi I can't hear you cause I'm THAT MUCH BETTER THAN YOU!!!"
It's grand. |

I guess I just don't get it because my licorice whips are blocking my anterior frontal lobe.  |

Just did some research. Tony Esposito was always my favorite. If you ask me, his best quotes, according to the "Legends of Hockey" series, were
Goaltending isn't a team sport.
They expect you to make all the saves, and some days, you're just not there.
No matter what you do, some days, the puck goes in.
I repaired my own pads myself. I sewed 'em all, did everything. Sure, I had 'em about 14 inches, times... but, uh, why not? If you get away with it?
Then I had a web between my legs one time... |

Phil Esposito quote, right after Tony confesses...
"Nowadays, you don't think the goaltenders cheat? Look at the size of their gloves."
"God. And their pads are like 3 inches wider than what my brother wore." |
