    There was another thread about the live line on this, it was 9.5 when he went in.

    Missed by one goal.

    I put 500 on the leafs tt live over 3.5 during the second period.

    Never have I been happier to lose 500

    What a scene, pretty damn cool he shut them out in the 3rd.

    Not even close. He’s only the second emergency backup who has even made a save in a game.

    That stat amazed me. In the olden days they would hold up the game while they stitched up the starting goalie.
    Just a wonderful story.

    This is a cool story, but it's a bizarre thing that the NHL has. Apparently most NHL teams carry two goalies on their roster, and every game the home team must supply an emergency goalie who is available to both teams and is simply 'on-call' in the stadium. I find it awesome and idotic at the same time.

    What a bizarre rule, both teams. What if both lose their backup goalies?
    $500 is ridiculous payout; should be 10x more at least.

    It should be like soccer where a regular player is forced to suit up

    relax guy

    its a great story

    but it shouldnt happen

    i mean 3 qbs go down, then you run wildcat

    your back up center goes down, then you play small ball in basketball



    theres no reason a normal player cant suit up and play goalie

    Yeah, that's a real good question Distroya. Any NHL aficionados out there know what the protocol is if both teams lose both their goalies?

    and the guy has to go to EVERY game, and sit there not get paid? I get it he has a free ticket assuming, but 3-4 hours of your day forced to go to a game which 99.99999999% you wont be called into duty to earn your $500?

    It’s only happened twice in the history of the league that an emergency backup has made a save. So they take their chances. Most of the time it’s a college goalie.

    Any goalie who is close to nhl level is playing in another league and making at least a bit of money at it. That’s why the emergency backup is a random dude.

    I was shocked that it wasn't higher, it would have been nine and a half if a Third String Goalie entered the game rather than an emergency goalie
    Missed by one goal.
    I thought it should have been much higher, it would have been set at 9.5 regardless of whether another backup goalie entered the game or an emergency goalie.

    I suspect most of the Toronto fans knew who he was as he is the Zamboni driver for the Marlies

    I know guys who would pay $500,000 to step between the pipes and celebrate with an NHL team after the game. David Ayres has it all figured out.
    Couldn't have happened to a better guy!

    Now that I think of it owners managers coaches and trainers aren't part of the roster either, so maybe he will get one if they win

    If the Zamboni driver got hurt, would the peanut vendor or the hot-dog vendor be next
    goalie?
