Question

Who's the weirdest goalie you ever heard of and why?

Answer 1

Now now, that's not very nice!

Answer 2

Andre 'Red Light' Raccicot played for the Montreal Canadiens and couldn;t stop a beach ball lol

Answer 3

Dominik hasek was in his prime, he flopped all over the place, as he got older he became more conventional, he was probably the strangest of all time though.

Answer 4

Not herd of but: Marty Turco's little silly reaching for the Stars dance he does as he gets set in his goalie stands always makes me crack up.

P.S- I have a Tugnut Quebec Jersey.

Edit: From years of being a goalie, training with goalies and even coaching goalies I can truly say that we are crackpots, threw & threw!!!

Answer 5

Goalies are just weird guys anyway. Often funny and alot of fun to be around. I'ts hard to say who is the weirdest but Ron Hextall comes to mind. He had a temper like a 3 year old and would hack anyone who pissed him off even though he wasn't any good at fighting, he tried.

Answer 6

Ron Tugnutt

Answer 7

Darren Puppa....Weirdest name anyway.

Answer 8

Chico Resch kissed the goalpost through his mask during a playoff game back in 1975. Not easy to do with those old style goalie masks that used to sit right on your face. His "Chico Cha-Cha" dance across the ice was pretty funny too.

Answer 9

Arturs Irbe.  He's about 5'6", wears goofy pads, has a goofy name, and is from Latvia.

Answer 10

Well Ed Belfour is just plain weird..off the ice especially.

Answer 11

i think it will have to be Vladimir Myshkin it against the americans in 1980 it looks like he did not know how to stop the puck but pretty good goalie after that...

Answer 12

Mike Palmateer. Played for the Leafs about 25 or 30 years ago. He had a tendency to go out on little skating ventures with the puck leaving a defenceman (usually Borje Salming) to cover for him. He also would throw the occassional body-check while he was out there and was blamed for ending Rick Martin's career witih one of thos checks. In spite of this, he was actually a pretty good goalie.

Answer 13

Yutaka Fukufuji. It was weird to hear of a Japanese born person playing hockey in North America. I saw him when he started out in Reading with the Royals.  

Answer 14

lundqvist, because brodeur said so

Answer 15

Mikka Kipprusoff. Lol just because i dont like him. That puppa guy has a weird last name too. And Dominik Hasek has the weirdest style.
