Just Say No

If that guy was our goalie we would have won.

i've never understood why nhl teams don't hire sumo wrestlers - wtf? is there in fact a rule limiting the goalie's width? that akibono-mofo IS the size of the net!

 

The net is 6 feet wide. Even Akibono is not 6 feet wide.

Goalies have to skate. Sumos are not well known for skating ability. Finding skates big enough can be tough and then too they would probably break an ankle.

Finally there is the point that pad size is regulated while goalie size isn't. So a sumo would still only have the regulation size pads which means more of his body would be exposed to pucks travelling at 110 km/h. Dude would get tenderized after one game.

Thanks there, cliff claven... douchebag...

such a play hater, you are

 

what's the height of the goal then? what if ole' akibone just laid his whale carcass lenghtwise on the ice (and fortified himself w/ plenty of morphine 'fore the match)?

Inquiring minds want to know!

How about Siamese Twins, are they allowed? And - do they get one or two sets of pads?

[G-spotter]

goal is 6 by 4 but there is a rule change afoot to make it 6'2" by 4'2"

 

in general big dudes make bad goalies. In the olympics the norwegian? goalie was a fucking troll - 6'4, 250 lbs something like that - and he still let in 8 goals against canada

[ivan]

the 'bono's 6'8" n' 500 lbs though

I've seen enough fat asses on the picture box - Shows called "The 1/2 Ton Teenager". Pull one of those guys out onto the ice, wrap 'em up in a "uniform" and prop 'em up with their hockey stick. Prolly cover the whole goal.

 

Dey took ur jobs! ::

Too late Bill we already have a killer whale

We should'a had Fairweather playing goalie; he could have just shown them pictures of crooked Canadian politicians until all their players died of shame. They do have crooked politicians, progressive types, up there don't they?

That would have made it even easier for us to win. All we'd have to do is send out a line made up of David Suzuki, Paul Watson, Svend Robinson, Stephen Lewis, and maybe some guy wearing a Tommy Douglas mask. FW's head would have exploded before they even crossed the blueline, allowing us to shoot into an empty net.
