I want to resolve the myth, if hockey goalies are crazy/weird or not. I know that Patrick Roy is crazy and weird, but are all goalies weird? Do they all have twitches like Nikolai Khabibulin?

  1. Weird? No

    Amazing? Yes


  2. Lol Manny Legace always did taht thing with pushing his neck forward... I liked Legace so much I grew to do that myself lol... hockey goalies arent crazy/weird... there just awesome.

    myth solved... ill cancel the appointment with the mythbusters.

  3. No, of course not. I guess used to they tended to be more so then now. Nowadays, there are still a few weird ones, but over all, I don't think they are weird.

  4. I think they are just loners.  My wife and son have met Manny Legace several times, and she said he's a first class guy.  He even went out of his way to make sure my son got the picture they took together autographed.

  5. lol to the mention of Khabibulin, but I dont think they are all weird, just a stereotype

  6. Since when was there a myth about goalies being weird? You can't generalize all hockey goalies. So no, not ALL of them are weird, but i'm sure a handful are....

  7. no only lundqvist

  8. from my experience, yes they are.  i met tom barrasso and ken wregget, they  werent  all there, very nice guys but before a game very stand offish. basically every game falls on their shoulders and they are also extremely supersticious. if you were in a high stress situation like that dont you think you would be considered weird?

  9. i hope this is a rhetorical question!

  10. Yes.  Avoid them on Haloween.

  11. superstitious bunch.

    do you mean wired?

    is crazy weird???

  12. You have to be crazy to be  willing stand in front of a hard rubber puck being shot at your head at extremely fast speed with a good amount of force behind it!

  13. I'm wierd, and I've never met another goalie that wasn't. Is it normal to stand in front of a 90mph chunk of rubber and get disappointed if it doesn't hit you?

  14. Oui are weird
