A goalie just stands there, seemingly impassive but actually boiling inside. They play a different game than anyone else. The closest approach in another sport might be the catcher in baseball. But still, he does things that are baseball – goes up to hit, chases fouls, etc. In hockey, a goalie does nothing that other players do. Except for his sweater; he even dresses differently right down to his skates.
