@EA_Aljo Just think when playing goalie how much you love that dman playing a pass out in front great and you are expecting it to be broken up but alas it doesn't and you get torched in net... That would be me in net. I stopped being angry long ago and simply just laugh now.

I haven't played goalie in years. It's bad enough getting scored on as a D man. Every single goal against I feel at least partly responsible for since it's my job to not let pucks get to the net. I couldn't take the stress of actually playing goalie. That'd just drive me crazy lol.
- Without defense there would be no fun in scoring.
So offens would be nothing without defense. 😁
