Scott Foster, an accountant, was pulled for from the stands after the backup goalie was injured for the Blackhawks.
The lawsuit out of college station is likely soon to be filed.

 

I love the emergency goalie rule, and it's pretty cool to see a guy get meaningful playing time like that.  I can't imagine how pumped he was in the room after the game.

On a night where the Hawks celebrated 1,000 games for Brent Seabrook, Scott Foster pulls the #1 star of the game.

I heard this story on NPR this morning.  This man lived the dream.

Here is the best photo of the night - guys at Johnny's Ice house stopping to watch one of their own play for the Blackhawks

and according to their twitter account - you can go see Scott Foster in the Johnny's Ice House elite league semifinals tonight (I bet it is played to a packed house)

Just seeing that picture--a bunch of guys in beer-league uniforms and gear--brings that smell of the dressing room back to my nostrils.

Dudes really need to spend more time cleaning their pads.

With the Stars shitting the bed I was looking for something to salve my hockey wounds. This more than did it. Dude is a fucking boss. I can't imagine even trying to go to work the next day. I'd be drunk for a week after something like that.

Somehow, aggy will take credit for this.

So these guys get paid or just a free ticket every game they are at?

CSB: The son of a guy I used to work with was the emergency goalie for the Penguins. 

He would go sit in the pressbox during games & had his pads & stuff with him in case he "got the call". He never did.

 

So yeah, free tickets, no pay unless you play.

According to this, he got paid $500 and gets to keep his game-worn jersey.

actually Scott, your link has been revised, it now says he got nothing.... other than maybe being able to keep the jersey. He signed an amateur tryout contract, not a professional 1 day contract

Well, furk.  It said he got paid when I saw the link.  That is what I get for trusting an SB Nation link, I guess.

I'm writing the screenplay right now. I need a catchy title. 

Starring Mark Wahlberg. 

Kinda disappointed in 200x85 (the league Foster plays  in) for this tweet

They list Scott Fosters career record, with no mention of his shutout playing for the Blackhawks

forgot the new tweet link - - -too much shaggy on my mind
