I need some help...

Hey there! My best friend (another goalie) and I are trying to come up with some top reasons to be a goalie...and we're stumped. Do you want to help? We were thinking after we get some good ones we might have t-shirts made...so, just post away! As in, what are the top 15 reasons to be a goalie....

Here are some I remember from a list:
Goalies have bigger sticks.
Redwings goalie can be Santa Claus during holiday season to make some extra money.
Halloween costume? No problem!
Check out the babes (or studs) in the stands without them knowing.
Who wouldn't want to have a 6 oz. piece of rubber fired at their head?

Great!! Keep 'em coming!

Thought the blue ice was made with powerade.

It's like wearing a suit of bacteria without the hassle of growing 'em in a petri dish.

Flies love you!

It's always the defense's fault...

Everybody's crazy 'bout a sharp dressed man.

OK, I was trying to come up with one of those top 15 lists things myself once, but I never finished it. Here's what I got though (some are kind of lame.)

You get a really cool looking mask.

While your teammates are busy in the other zone, you can stand around and watch them.

You are thought of as "unique."

You never get sent to the penalty box (you might not fit through the door anyway!)

You don't have to worry about being in a scoring slump.

Your equipment makes you look like you have very big muscles.

Shutouts!!!

Well you never leave the ice(usually)
the goalie is the most important player on the ice
there is no better feeling than stoning someone

Kinda reminds me of a list i made, 10 reasons why hockey is better than a woman. Haven't found one that proved me wrong yet.
sorry ladies
haha

Goalies have bigger sticks :-)
Goalies use the glove hand
"Save made by Roy!!!!!"
Chicks dig gloalies
I dig chicks that are goalies
Goalies get to stand around and look cool while everyone is skating
No penalty box
you look huge
nothing like having your bell rung by a puck

Can't hear everyone on the bench saying how much you suck.

Ask for water between periods and 15 guys offer their water bottles.

View from behind bars gives insight into what it's like to be in prison.

XXXL Jersey doubles as nightgown

Anyone on the other team so much as taps your cheek and your whole team beats him to a bloody pulp.

Only one on team who can use excuse "I was screened!"

Pretend you're frantically searching through your equipment bag like you've forgotten something and watch the faces of anguish on your teammates.

WONDERFUL! Bernie, yours especially had me screaming with laughter. They are all spectacular!

How about...

It's okay to be a fat guy, nobody notices!

PS... I too often wonder what the guys on the bench are saying. I'm pretty ceratin though that I don't wanna know!

Here's a list i found...

10. Halloween costume? No problem!
9. Detroit Red Wing goalies look like Santa; can earn extra money during the holidays.

8. Can check out the babes rinkside without them even knowing.

7. Slash all you want; they send someone else to the box.

6. Padding gives the impression you're really buffed.

5. Helmet allows you to double as Darth Vader in any upcoming "Star Wars."

4. Can get inventive nickname like "Eddie."

3. Flexibility can be useful in other entertainment ventures, if you know what I mean.

2. Bruises can really bring out the color in your eyes.

1. Two Words: Bigger Stick.

From my feeble imagination.

During games, they let you to stand OUTSIDE the cage.

Those burned biscuits you threw out start to look pretty good!

Someone else to serves your time! Great experience for entering presidential politics!

Sure the crowd hates you, but they'll never recognize you on the street!

Now wait a minute. We wear masks!, so why then do we put our names on our back?


Not crazy, just "mis-understood"
