Would this work in the nhl?

Question

not that i would do this, but could a person become very very fat so that they take up the entire goal? is there any rules about this? or has anyone tried it?

Answer 1

The NHL I know was thought to be interested in making the goalies smaller by limiting the size of their pads and possible put a cap on height, but that was all speculation. I can't confirm this nor do I really feel like looking around the web in order to confirm, so take it as you will.

Answer 2

You obviously have no idea how big the entire goal is. There are no rules against it, but there aren't any mobile people that big either.

Answer 3

No one has tried it but I have thought of that idea before. I do not think there is a rule against it.

Answer 4

No, sorry.

Answer 5

Answer 6

You would have to find a person who was 6 ft by 4 ft who could pass a phsyical.  It probably wouldn't happen as you would probably have to remove walls in the home where this person would live.

Answer 7

lol no rule against it bt imagin them doing the spits or diving wow lol they wouldnt be able to move hahahaha

Answer 8

A Washington Post reporter tried it. Recruited a goalie in junior hockey, put him in a fat suit designed to simulate a guy bigger then the fattest man in human history, and took him to a caps practice. He didn't cover the entire net, and lots of goals were scored because he couldn't move.

Hardly an original idea. And I could go on and on with a multitude of reasons but I don't want to type all of them because this topic has been beaten to death. use the search feature.

Answer 9

find a 6x4 person and we'll talk about it

Answer 10

h**l! Why don't we just place a dead horse in the net instead?.....................

Answer 11

that would be so funny to see a huge guy in net. the only thing is they probably wouldn't be able to move if they had too in all of the goalie equipment.
