TheFunPolice Posted January 26, 2012 Report Posted January 26, 2012 Things are slow, people are getting goofy, so here is a idea: a 500 pound man+ all of his equipment would completely block the net He wouldn't even really need to ever move. Assuming he could stand the whole game, why wouldn't it work?
ubkev Posted January 26, 2012 Report Posted January 26, 2012 Sports science actually covered this one. While there is no size limit to the goalie, there are size limitations on the goalies pads. Basically it comes down to the fat guy taking too many shots at 100 mph to unprotected body parts. So yeah, nobody would want to do it.
korab rules Posted January 26, 2012 Report Posted January 26, 2012 Really? Oh, what the hell, why not. Even a 500 lb man isn't 4' x 6'. If he leaves holes, snipers will find them. We need a man who is 4' x 6'. I don't care how much he weighs, he just has to be 4' x 6' or larger.
ROC Sabres Posted January 26, 2012 Report Posted January 26, 2012 Even fat people have holes. Most of the time they are donut holes tho.

Then he'd only need to be 6' x 4'... would still have some coverage difficult by his head and skates though... hmmm....

Then he'd only need to be 6' x 4'... would still have some coverage difficult by his head and skates though... hmmm.... So if he's 7' tall x 4' + wide were in luck? What's shaq doing now a days? After making $500 million throughout his career, I doubt he'd have motivation to do it. What about Oliver Miller? He's gotta have those dimensions (I know he was only 6'9" but I'm certain he was 4' wide and his career fizzled out pretty quick. Maybe he needs a buck. Although, I'd like to hear what nickname Shaq would give himself. Round mound of rebounds?
Meathead Posted January 26, 2012 Report Posted January 26, 2012 doesnt have to be a man either. just force feed jlo lard tacos and let her sit ass out in the net. then thered only be two holes
UncleWally Posted January 26, 2012 Report Posted January 26, 2012 Although, I'd like to hear what nickname Shaq would give himself. Round mound of rebounds? That won't work, Sir Charles (Barkley) already has that monicker locked up.
K-9 Posted January 26, 2012 Report Posted January 26, 2012 Even fat people have holes. Most of the time they are donut holes tho. This isn't one of those "roll 'em in the flour" jokes, is it? GO SABRES!!! So if he's 7' tall x 4' + wide were in luck? What's shaq doing now a days? After making $500 million throughout his career, I doubt he'd have motivation to do it.

spndnchz Posted January 26, 2012 Report Posted January 26, 2012 I think play behind the net would suffer and thus, we lose.
DFITZ1 Posted January 27, 2012 Report Posted January 27, 2012 Things are slow, people are getting goofy, so here is a idea: a 500 pound man+ all of his equipment would completely block the net He wouldn't even really need to ever move. Assuming he could stand the whole game, why wouldn't it work? Chances are they couldn't fit thru door onto the rink, and if they climbed over they jumped over the boards, the landing would cruch teh cooling pipes. Actually, I think that over the years goalies have needed to get more leaner and agile compared to the "no mask" era. Being able to go post to post in a split second for a kick save is more acrobatic than some end-to-end rushes, it just doesn't take long.
inkman Posted January 27, 2012 Report Posted January 27, 2012 That won't work, Sir Charles (Barkley) already has that monicker locked up. Uh no...Barkley was the mound round of rebound. Singular...see what I did there. Ya know cuz in a game with a giant fat man in net there would be lots of reboundS.
ubkev Posted January 27, 2012 Report Posted January 27, 2012 Interesting... so if someone was really large, he wouldn't be allowed to wear as much padding? Not that he wouldnt be allowed to wear as much padding, he can wear the same padding all the other goalies wear....the 180 pound goalies. Or in our case the 165 pound goalies...
Marvelo Posted January 27, 2012 Report Posted January 27, 2012 when the poor guy finally has a heart attack, (5-10 mins) how are they gonna get him off the ice?
Samson's Flow Posted January 27, 2012 Report Posted January 27, 2012 when the poor guy finally has a heart attack, (5-10 mins) how are they gonna get him off the ice? they won't need to, he will be the all time sabres leader in home wins :nana:
spndnchz Posted January 27, 2012 Report Posted January 27, 2012 when the poor guy finally has a heart attack, (5-10 mins) how are they gonna get him off the ice? Even dead he fills up the same space.
Samson's Flow Posted January 27, 2012 Report Posted January 27, 2012 Even dead he fills up the same space. They just need to get another guy for road trips and theyre all set.
TheChimp Posted January 27, 2012 Report Posted January 27, 2012 This would be a good place for that picture being disseminated in the other thread...

Iron Crotch Posted January 27, 2012 Report Posted January 27, 2012 Even dead he fills up the same space. And, if he is dead, he'll never cash his paychecks... and he'll be on ice, so the smell won't be a big issue... and...
Miller30 Posted January 27, 2012 Report Posted January 27, 2012 Even dead he fills up the same space. Actually dead he would fill up more space once the bloating started - bonus!
shrader Posted January 27, 2012 Report Posted January 27, 2012 Thank you Charles Wang. What's next, a 15 year contract for Enroth?
