Wild dress 51 year old goalie last night!

There's hope for us all yet, or as the saying goes, it's not what you know but who you know!

I just love this - this just wouldn't happen in most other sports!

Can you imagine sitting on the subs bench at Anfield as a reserve goalie????

I saw that a few mins ago, great little story! There have been a few emergency call ups like this over the last few years. I bet it made that guys day/week/month/life? haha

It's not too late for any of us yet...except maybe Driz...

Excuse me....I'd be up for it and I'd fill the net a damn sight better than you bunch of scrawny little runts

There would be no rebounds off of my midrift

Bring it on, Lucic....you horrible little worm. Uncle Driz will put you over his knee and tan your arse. Put you back in your place, you little classroom bully

8 minute response time? Not bad. Almost as quick as Keith Keane...

Driz - really? Could you skate that far out of the crease?

We'd all consider ourselves more than a bit lucky if we knew the GM and ended up in prcatice taking some shots, but to actually sit on the bench in a game?

I think I would die of pride (with a bloody great smile on my face!) to think that my name had even entered NHL history books, never mind all the photos I would have got my family to take of me dressed and on the bench! !!!!!!!!

I always imagined Driz as a skater, playing on the Wellwood line

Does the Wellwood line play slightly wider than other lines?

The Wellwood line get stuck in their own zone when Wellwood thinks the circles are donuts and tries to eat them.

Yeah, its a part of their "all round" game.
