Nucks sucks.
See what I did there.
I actually like them, I just like to rhyme too.

Luongo is listed at 6'3" right? He's only 2" taller than me. I like being a tall goalie...people shoot into tall goalies a lot. Unfortunately they shoot around me more than into, but they shoot into me a lot.  |

He's 6'3" yep, and around 200lbs.. I'm 6'4" and around 200lbs. I'm no Luongo though.  |

You guys are monsters!
I';m about 5'9 and 170lbs. I always get the aren't you too small for a goalie.
Better someone with good reflexes and awareness than a behemoth I say. _________________ A goalie must have one overriding quality, he must want to be a goalie |

You have to think though, I've been playing for over a decade. I have good awareness and I don't need the excellent reflexes because I'm big enough that I cover a huge chunk of the net. Which goes back to a long time argument. Luongo is good because of his awareness and size while Nabakov is good because he's tiny and can throw himself all over the league. |

One of the ref's calls me Monster. Most of the time I'm the tallest guy on the ice let alone out of the two goalies. I'm also one of those guys who stands up for himself instead of letting my team do it for me. I get right up and start shoving.
I've got serious speed issues due to my size. My reflexes are a tad slower, but I can work on that. I'm still new. |

| Awesome logo. I wouldn't worry about the speed issues Itech. We have the advantage of height over speed. Learn to use your height to play the advantages and hope that your team is there to pick up the awkward rebounds. |
