digitalmonkey 929 Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 Question:It's late in the season and the Penguins are battling for the division lead with the Flyers. They are playing Philadelphia and the game is scoreless midway thru the first period. Fleury goets injured and has to leave the game so they have to bring in Johnson. However, before Johnson can get in the game he begins vomiting violently. He hadn't been feeling well but thought he was ell enough to serve as backup. It is now apparent that neither Fleury or Johnson can finish this game. Would you put Sidney Crosby in net?Also, would your answer be different if they were battling for the playoffs or if the score was different?Just curious. Link to post Share on other sites
ajs510 122 Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 Just curious.Speaking of just curious, other than the famous Les Patrick incident, has there ever been an occurance where both the starting and backup goaltender were unable to finish the game? Link to post Share on other sites
serge 904 Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 Speaking of just curious, other than the famous Les Patrick incident, has there ever been an occurance where both the starting and backup goaltender were unable to finish the game? November 13 1968: Glenn Hall was injured during the game so the Blues put in their backup Robbie Irons. But they weren't confident he could do the job, so he was instructed to fake an injury on the ice. Then they paged their other goalie, Jacques Plante, out of the crowd to take over Link to post Share on other sites
digitalmonkey 929 Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 I also remember a game televised on (i think it was) cbc where one of the teams had one of the broadcasters ready to dress. I think it may have been John Garrett. Link to post Share on other sites

Zach6668 513 Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 I think there's a rule that you can like sign someone out of the crowd if you need to if you lose both goalies. Something really ridiculous.I wouldn't put Crosby in, whether we're fighting for a playoff spot or the division. Too much of a risk of injury for a guy who's not used to 100 mile an hour shots, and all the different athleticism involved with goaltending. I think I'd rather just play 6 on 5 and see if they could control the puck enough to limit the other teams shots on net. It'd be a long shot, but whatever.I think I've seen situations where Sid played net in practice too, but never with full equipment, he would just grab the mask, blocker, trapper and stop a few half-speed shots.Fwiw, I think we could put Godard or some other scrub in net before Crosby, heh.

serge 904 Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 Also... 7-0 on the road this year. this isnt a level or a jab at your mighty Penguins..However they are peaking too soon...the injuries will catch up to them and they havent really beaten a lot of top teams on the road..They are playing well though..But honestly i dont see them running away with the conference..They are a solid playoff team that will finish probably 5th in the conference.IMO FWIW QFT Link to post Share on other sites
fryer98 30 Posted November 4, 2009 Author Share Posted November 4, 2009 The Pens equipment manager Dana Heinze played 4 mins of a ECHL game for Johnstown in 88-89: http://www.hockeydb.com/ihdb/stats/pdisplay.php?pid=7614On a side note, I have 1 career game in net for a HS spring league team. 1-0 with a 50% save percetage on 2 shots on goal. Yes, they only had 2 shots. The one goal I let in was a centering pass I put my stick out for a deflected in. At this rink, you had to talk through the lobby to the locker rooms and the other team's parents were telling me what a great game I had, ha. Link to post Share on other sites

I'd pay a bunch for having a signed photo of myself with my hero. The only thing that would piss me off is waiting in line for hours to spend $200 to get it signed, so the front of line thing has that covered. I like it. If it included airfare and accommodations, I'd be down! Link to post Share on other sites
fryer98 30 Posted November 4, 2009 Author Share Posted November 4, 2009 Besides when I was a kid, I've never really been into autographs. I do have a Koho Lemieux signed stick from, I'm guessing 1990. When my step-dad and mom were dating, he lived across the street from the Steelers' long time equipment manager so he got us a stick from Steve Latin for cutting his grass a few times.We also have a Koho Revolution stick from 1996 "signed by Mario" that's a joke. My HS team made it to the Western PA state finals game and they did a charity raffle for the stick. My step-dad wins it and goes to claim the prize at the game but he's told they took the stick from the rink and he has to come back another day to claim it. He calls and calls and they keep avoiding him. Finally, he sets up a time to meet them and they give him a left handed Jr. stick signed. He tells them that it's not the one that was there and obviously someone took the real one and tried (poorly) to replace it with a fake one. They insisted that it was the same one, but my step-dad grew up playing and isn't an idiot. He's too nice and just took the stick not to make a scene/problem out of it.Random brag reminder note: I have Colby's Winter Classic stick game used stick! Link to post Share on other sites
ajs510 122 Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 I only asked because I seem to remember some news article on the Sabres a few years ago carrying a quote from Andrew Peters that said the coaches had designated him as the emergency backup goalie if there was ever a situation where both netminders went down in a single game. I guess he used to play goalie way back in the day. You wouldn't think a team these days would be able to add to their bench if such a scenario went down (goalie out of the stands, equipment manager, goalies coach, etc) so I was just wondering if anyone knew of a modern example where it actually happened.
