We try to give the stronger goalie to the weaker team, according to the standings of the goalies and of the teams. We try to accommodate the goalies requests, i.e. if they prefer to play before or after their team game. We cannot force the goalies to goaltend, and if it happens that they can t make it, we try to replace them the best way we can. We selected our goalies because we think that they can do a good job. Most of our goaltenders didn t have previous goaltending experience.
Most goaltenders don t like being bitched at, especially by the team they are goaltending for.
The goaltending equipment doesn t protect goaltenders from getting their feeling hurt by negative remarks made in a totally tactless way. Most goalies don t like to loose and will do their best when they are goaltending. Any suggestions, on goaltending or any other matters, are always welcome.
