It truly was a Shawshank redemption Posts: 12,129 Group: Retired Staff Member #2,993 Joined: December 16, 2007 Gender Male Favourite Anime DBZ What Browser do you use? Google Chrome Favourite Manga DBZ, Full Metal Alchemist	There's a hockey game from the Winter Olympics on the TV, and I was wondering: is there a weight limit for the goalies? Because the goal is pretty small, and it doesn't look like the goalies have to move much, so couldn't they just put a massively overweight person in goal to cover up the entire goal? This sounds like a joke topic, but I'm completely serious. It just seems like if there isn't a weight limit, that this is an option team's can take.

Having an agile and quick goalie is more important than having a meat shield, because not every goal is one that can be stopped flat on your skates.

If the goalie covers the entire goal, he doesn't have to save the puck. He can just stand there. I think that's Mitas' thought.

Supposing we had someone who could cover the goal by merely standing on their skates, there is a still a gap near the ice due to being raised up on their skates. Fair?

First of all, I doubt someone of that size has enough power to stand still and take all those hits.
