Sorry to hijack your thread but its a goalie question.
Is there a way to get your goalie to come off their line.

My ice hockey knowledge is limited but from what I have watched those scenarios happen a lot and the goalie comes out so the defencemen doesn't have to come all the way back up the ice.
