Ridiculous post


Right. It’s ridiculous to involve the team with fundamental skills (catching and passing) after a goal rather than one person using a specialized stick and skill that bares no relation to actually playing the sport. Let me guess, your son is a fogo (and probably holdback).


A goalie stands in a circle the whole game with a specialized stick. How is putting your body in front of a shot less of a "Skill" than using hand-speed, strength and angles to win a ground ball, run it to safety and pass it to one of your offensive players with a bent head? So now your entire argument revolves around the importance of skills required to block a shot vs the importance of skills required to gain your team a ton of extra offensive possessions? Really, just a dumb, naive argument.


You need a player to defend the goal since the comparative number of goals determine the outcome of the game. You don’t need a faceoff to determine possession. It artificially influenced the outcome.
