Let's see, 10 guys, all with equal chance to touch the ball, and defened the ball. Yes, someone can get "hot" but you can't compare it to a goalie, who solo can change the outcome of a game.

Ok, a pitcher throws the best 9 innings of his life, strikes everyone out, but his team doesn't score a run, eventually he tires in extra innings, gets pulled and they lose one nothing.

ah yes, a QB throws the perfect pass, marches the team down field, perfect spiral, Touch... oh wait, the WR droped it.

See Hero, your missing the point, but I understand the need to boost your post count and all.

a Goalie in hockey, much like that kickyball sport, can be on a shit team, and can change the game by shutting down the other team. I can see a close match from a baseball pitcher but he has to rely on his defense, he gives up an easy out pop-up and they blow the play, it's not his fault, he can lose 1-0 w/o giving up a single hit or earned run, but you can't compare a QB or Basketball player the same.

Now given, a hockey Goalie can't score, but he can single handedly keep the other team from scoring, yeah, a baseball pitcher has that ability, but even in a no-hitter, a batter or two usualy put a ball in play and it's up to the fielders to make the play.
