You were only promised 30. Huds may not be a heavyweight, but if he ducks and weaves he just might stand a chance :boxing:

I dont think it was quite 50 goals, maybe 50 points, but i think people were saying 45 points maybe 30 goals...quite an inflation there izzy :lol:

norrisnick promised 50.

Yes, you can have a goaltender at 5'9'' or 5'10''...I'm 5'10'' (on a good day). Not saying you can plop me in the NHL today. But I'm tired of hearing you can't be a good goalie because you are small. *hint* What we make up for size is in speed and reaction time.

No problemo, mate. I'm in Sweden.

Detroit fan in France? Really? I didn't know you were interested in hockey?

There is much more Canadiens fans because of the french goalie, but I prefer the Wings ;)

one of the best goalies I've ever seen played for the Austin Ice Bats, Matt Barnes (played for Western Michigan in the late '90s). He is 5'4" - no joke. He would have been NHL calibre if he was even a little taller. Speed and reaction are the key, and he had it all. Plus he fit under the cross bar without bending over. :P

lol, nice. I was 5'4'' probably until freshman year of high school. Not sure. I was a late bloomer I know that much. It honestly gets on your nerves when you tell someone that you are a goalie and they go "well, but you're so small." I know I'm small but I've been scouted and all that good stuff so cut me some slack. This is a true story; At one tryout they were going to go with another goalie just because he was bigger than me. Other goalie said no because I deserved it more. I have to give him serious props for that because if I was in his position I wouldn't have done the same thing.

tell 'em what Barnsie used to say, dallas: "I might be small, but I am bigger than the puck... and faster!" ;)
