For some reason was on my mind for a short period of time on one of my cross-PA drives last week and a interesting thought came to my mind.
One of the toughest situations in sports must be being a goalie in overtime of game 7 of the stanley cup championship. A goalie can be amazing the rest of the series. He could have carried the team on his back. But at overtime of game 7, one of two things can happen. The goalie's team can win, in which case the most important play (the game winning goal) will be achieved by a teammate and he will be alone at the other end of the ice, no where near the puck.
The second thing that can happen, is that his team can lose, in which case the game is lost, atleast partially, because of him, right in front of him.
It's a case of they win far away from him or lose right infront of him. It has to be a tough situation.
