We Need To Start A National Petition For Goalie Goals To Count For 2 In Any Sport
I'd rank a goalie goal as the 2nd coolest way to put points on the board in sports. The 1st will always big a big man touchdown in football. Nothing better than seeing some 300+ lb slab of meat waddle around in the end zone after putting 6 on the board. But after that, nothing gets people fired up quite like a goalie goal.
Unfortunately it doesn't fire up the scoreboard nearly as much as it should. Here you have this sick moment that only happens once or twice a year, and it ends up counting just as much as any old regular goal. It would be like saying an over the pants handy counts the same as a confirmed kill. No chance.
Which is why something needs to be done here and it needs to be done immediately. I don't know if there are any more pressing and urgent matters for the government to handle at the moment, but it's time for inflation to hit the goalie goal market. We need those shits to be worth 2 points at the very least. You shouldn't be allowed to get dunked on by an 80-yard dart from the goalie and then immediately cancel that goal out with your next shot. Hockey, soccer, lacrosse, any other sport that I'm missing that has a goalie. If you launch a full fielder to the back of the net, it's beyond disgraceful that it doesn't run up the scoreboard.
Sick snipe from Hopkins goalie Tim Marcille here. I'm just devastated for him that we, as a country, haven't been able to award the goalie goal the justice it deserves yet.
Sidenote: For anybody wondering why the net was wide open here, it's because the 10-man ride is the dumbest move in lacrosse where you pull your goalie out of the net to act as a defenseman and then leave yourselves vulnerable to get dunked on like this.
