A goalie fight is pretty exciting but if you go back and look at all the games, you realize it happens more than one would think it does in a season. Maybe not always in the NHL, but in leagues across the country goalies don't want to be left out. Case in point, Tyler Plante, who likes to throw once in awhile. Except he finds himself fighting a forward on the other team.
The announcer has never seen anything like this before. Funny because I have and the two guys have pretty similar names.
How often does a goalie normally fight a forward/defenseman? It seems like it would be a mismatch. Who do you give more credit to, the goalie or the forward/defenseman, for fighting the other?
ReplyDeleteNot often. Goalie gets credit but it's still looked at like something you don't do. You don't start fights with a goalie.
