A police officer, a bank manager and an accountant: NHL emergency goalie stories are the best
(https://www.washingtonpost.com/resizer/JU75IpkO9piK7ejWmMmMBMkNlAc=/1484x0/arc-anglerfish-washpost-prod-washpost.s3.amazonaws.com/public/IA6ODO3OFIZVHGV2LGLE7FWWME.jpg)
Scott Foster, an accountant, celebrates an NHL victory. (Dennis Wierzbicki/USA Today Sports)
Sports reporters are drawn to NHL emergency goalie stories like food bloggers to sliced ketchup. Because NHL emergency goalie stories have everything: The drama of waiting to see whether a drywall installer-slash-refrigerator-repairman will actually get into an NHL game. The shared glory of seeing an Everyday Joe or Everyday Gord become a proxy professional athlete. The emotional thrill of seeing gleeful teammates pat the emergency goalie on the head, or shoulder, or rump. The intellectual jolt of interviewing someone on the happiest day of his life, someone who will never ever tell you that this was “just another game” or that “we’re on to Winnipeg.”
Accountant-turned-emergency-goalie-turned-Chicago-hero Scott Foster authored one of the best of these stories Thursday night, when his typically uneventful night as the Blackhawks on-call emergency (third) goalie turned into something quite different. The 36-year-old beer league player, pressed into service by a pair of injuries to the team’s real goalies, played 14 minutes, made seven saves, closed out a Chicago win, and then was feted by both his teammates and the national press.
(NHL teams dress two goaltenders and typically would call on a minor league goalie due to injury or other emergency. If logistics make that impossible, teams are allowed to dress and play any available goaltending option, which is why local goalies with ties to the team or the sport are often on call, sometimes winding up on the bench and — in extremely rare cases — on the ice. “It’s definitely a unique situation in sports that really only happens in hockey,” Eric Semborski once told the Associated Press. Semborski, a programs coordinator and youth hockey coach at the Philadelphia Flyers’ practice facility, suited up for the Chicago Blackhawks last season when one of their goalies required an emergency appendectomy.)
But if Foster on Thursday became a hero to accountants across the world — especially for finding time to goof around on March 29, with tax day looming — he also added his name to a long and storied list of regular ol’ dudes who rose to brief fame through emergency NHL goaltending.
Some highlights:
The Policeman
Floyd Whitney, father to NHL star Ray Whitney, suited up for the Edmonton Oilers in 1999, when starter Bill Ranford was injured. The team drew up an amateur contract for Whitney — a local police officer — and gave him a sweater, according to the St. Petersburg Times.
“I was hoping I would get in, maybe when it was 6-2 in the last 30 seconds,” Whitney said, according to the paper. “I figure I could have contained them for that long.” (Yes, the Blackhawks final score on Thursday was also 6-2.)
Edmonton Coach Kevin Lowe said he debated using Whitney in the waning seconds, but didn’t want to rub it in on the visiting Capitals.
The Statistician
Joe Schaefer, an office-equipment staffer and longtime Rangers statistician, suited up twice for the Rangers in the early 1960s, according to his New York Times obituary.
The first time, starter Gump Worsley tore tendons in his hand after a collision with Bobby Hull. Schaefer, whose playing experience came primarily with the amateur Sands Point Tigers, was summoned.
“The game was delayed for 23 minutes while Schaefer donned a Ranger jersey,” the Times reported. “He was 35 years old and something on the paunchy side, at 5 feet 8 inches and evidently about 200 pounds. Now he would be facing blistering shots from the likes of Hull. His counterpart in the Chicago goal happened to be Glenn Hall, a future member of the Hockey Hall of Fame.”
A 1-0 Rangers lead turned into a 5-1 Rangers loss. Schaefer, who made 17 saves, “had little to offer except courage,” Joe Nichols wrote in the Times.
He later played in a second game, making 27 saves in another loss to the Blackhawks. He continued keeping stats for the Rangers until 1986, according to the Times, although he was never again needed in a game.
The Bank Manager
Nathan Schoenfeld, whose father-in-law was the equipment manager for the Arizona Coyotes, served as the team’s emergency goalie during a 6-2 win two years ago. (Yes, that’s another 6-2 win.)
Schoenfeld’s father Jim was the team’s former coach, and he had skated with the team in the past. He worked at the time as relations manager at a bank, according to the Arizona Republic, and was fortuitously off work on game day because of Presidents’ Day. He didn’t skate with the team in warmups, according to the paper, but did sit in uniform on the bench.
“I don’t know if I have the words quite yet,” he said after the game. “It will probably take a bit to soak in. Just go home and sit with my family and just enjoy the night.”
The Vending Machine Worker
Tyler Stewart, a Blues season-ticket holder and former junior hockey player, signed a contract with St. Louis this season after the team’s emergency call-up was delayed arriving at the rink. Stewart, 25, skated with the team in warmups and watched the first period from the dressing room, according to the Associated Press. He was the team’s backup for the first period, until the real backup arrived.
“It was like a dream come true, obviously,” Stewart said.
Stewart, who played club hockey in college, had started his shift for his dad’s vending machine company at 5 a.m. that day, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. He received the No. 98 sweater, and got to parry a few shots during pregame drills, according to the AP.
“It’s something I’ll never forget,” he said. “This was my Christmas present.”
“Just nuts, is how I’d describe it,” he told the Post-Dispatch.
The Equipment Manager
Former N.C. State club hockey goalie Jorge Alves had often filled in during Carolina Hurricanes practices, because he worked for the team as an equipment manager. But last season, the then-37-year-old former Marine was sent into a game in the waning seconds of a Hurricanes loss. The team’s normal backup was ill, and Alves served as the emergency backup; his brief on-ice appearance was a sort of thank-you for his years of service.
Before Foster’s star turn this week, Alves had been the modern model of an emergency backup actually hitting the ice.
“I’m going to cherish that jersey. I’ll have it up in my house,” Alves said, via the Raleigh News & Observer. “I’m truly humbled.”
Starting goalie Cam Ward asked Alves to lead the team onto the ice for pregame warmups, usually the starter’s duty.
“I said to him right before the game, they don’t ask how or why, but you made it to the NHL,” Ward said, according to the News & Observer. “It’s a memory he’ll cherish for the rest of his life. It turned out to be a great story, too, for a great guy.”
The Web Producer
Brett Leonhardt is more than just a Web producer; the longtime Caps employee (and, full disclosure, a personal friend) now works as an assistant coach with the team, after a stint with the league office.
But his first brush with national fame came in 2008, when his job was indeed as a Web producer. Starter Jose Theodore was injured, call-up Semyon Varlamov was unable to arrive by puck drop, and starter Brent Johnson needed a backup. The 6-foot-7 Leonhardt, then 26 and known universally as “Stretch,” became the guy.
“I should pay the team for being able to do this,” he said. “It was like every dream come true.”
Leonhardt had played Division III hockey and had often filled in with the team during practice sessions, but he was still thrilled with his brief turn, which later led to a trading card. He also left the bench after about 10 minutes and worked the dressing room with his video camera as usual after that game.
“It was a great view,” he joked to the Associated Press. “Usually I’m up here with you guys in the press box.”
Leonhardt served as an emergency backup again in 2013, although by that point he was already an assistant coach.
The Grad Student
Tom Fenton was a 26-year old grad student and hockey coach in 2013, when the Coyotes called him up for a game at Madison Square Garden. Starter Ilya Bryzgalov had the flu, and the Coyotes couldn’t get a backup from their minor league outpost in San Antonio to New York in time.
Fenton, who never played in a 4-3 shootout loss, had played four years of college hockey at American International College.
“Somehow my name got thrown out there,” Fenton said after the game, via the AP. “I got the call, and I guess I just called back quicker than the other guys.”
Fenton said he thought the call from the Coyotes was a joke, some friends playing a prank on him. At the time, he also served as head of game operations and community relations at Manhattanville College, according to the AP, and as a volunteer hockey coach. He borrowed a roommate’s car and skipped a final exam for the game.
“I was just trying to take everything all in,” he said, via the AP. “It was great. This whole place was electric. I know we always say that cliche, but once you’re out there, it’s a totally different experience. Words can’t really describe it.”
The Turncoat Trainer
There are many more of these stories, each with its own charms. But the story of Lefty Wilson is particularly charming, because Wilson — a longtime trainer for the Detroit Red Wings — actually got the call-up as an emergency goalie against his own team.
This happened two times, according to Wilson’s New York Times obituary. Wilson had played in the minors and filled in during Red Wings practices, according to the Times, and also suited up for the team in a 1953 game. But things got weirder in 1956, when he was asked to play for the Toronto Maple Leafs against the Red Wings, after starter Harry Lumley got sick. He played 13 minutes in a loss.
It happened again in 1957, when he played almost an entire game for the Bruins against the Red Wings, after starter Don Simmons separated his shoulder. Wilson allowed one goal, and the Bruins tied the Red Wings.
“There was no way I wanted those guys to score on me,” Wilson told author Dick Irvin, according to the Times. “It would have been terrible to go to work in the dressing room the next day and have them give me the needle about how many they scored

Ya, I think I'd of found a spot for him tonight at least.
-
Nats are undefeated !!!!
-
I’m surprised Gersich is a scratch
I think I heard during pregame show that Trotz wants to see how the other players respond to the serious threat to their roster spots by Gersich. I was preparing the GDT, so I wasn't paying close attention, but that was the gist of what I thought I heard.
It's impressive that even with recent injuries the Caps have the best record by far over the last ten games than any other NHL team. If everyone steps it up we can be a threat . . . Until the 2nd round! ;)
-
Next time Orpik makes a pass like that he should be forced to eat the damn puck
-

Why?

Uh, Columbus has the same record we do in the last 10 -- just saying'.

I'd rather play the guys that will be playing for us in the playoffs. I don't think Gerisch will be playing in the playoffs.
-
Why?
management made a big deal about bringing him in, wants him to contribute in the playoffs. He hadn’t played in a month before the other night, aren’t that many games left to get him in shape, and he actually played well
-

I don't think he will get much playing time in the playoffs if any. It is safer to play the guys that have been in the system all season. Its not like he is going to be a top 6 forward this season.
-
It’s friken cold in here tonight
-
I'd rather play the guys that will be playing for us in the playoffs. I don't think Gerisch will be playing in the playoffs.
No which is unfortunate.
It wouldn’t be unheard of for a coach to sit a veteren with attitude or performance for a late call up/UFA signing who was out playing them, and stick with them, until they lost their spot regardless of the playoffs. Hell Babcock did several times alone.
But. This is the Caps. . . where feelings and ideology are valued more than results
-
wow, 74 has a blindfold on
-

Because he missed a bouncing puck? He probably should have trued to stop it instead of shoot it. BTW he does have a name. Lol you can't even call him by his name.
-
Uh, Columbus has the same record we do in the last 10 -- just saying'.
I looked at the stats a few days ago and they were 8-1-1 and we were 9-1-0. I guess one of their last 2 loses was tossed after their last win
ETA
That's wrong too. I must have missed CBJ when I scanned the standings. What I was remembering was the SJS.

I don't have a problem with Gerisch but I wouldn't feel safe with him in the lineup in the playoffs. Mind you I don't feel safe with Burakovsky or Vrana either.
-

That’s my point ;D
But if he can take there spot and make us a better team. . . Then fuck Bura and Varna. Loose your spot,and they can lolly gag and make turnovers in the press box.
But, it won’t happen. That’s two “mean” for Dickless and BetaMale to condone.
-
That’s my point ;D
But if he can take there spot and make us a better team. . . Then fuck Bura and Varna.
But I guarantee it wouldn't be Burakovsky or Vrana losing their spot. It would be DSP, Chaisson or Stephenson. I don't mind either of those 3.
-

It wasn’t bouncing that much, and a Norris candidate would’ve kept his eye on the damn puck
-
looks like the Caps are up against a hot goalie tonight
-

Read what I fucking said. I said he should have stopped the puck. And BTW he has a name.
-

Yep, which also my point. This orginization overvalues and pampers to players who get a puck in once in a while despite being liabilities on the ice.
-

Darling?

:6z:
-
Ah fuck. Well let's blame 74 for that goal.
-
Lot's of defensive fails, but Wilson gets a large part of the blame for that score.

He lost his man. Thought Djoos had a chance to make a play but he was too soft.

and has been discussed before, while at the game and thumbing a phone, using the number instead of typing the name is common practice.
but we all realize you don’t remember past conversations
-
Those floating banner ads (PenFed, Cadillac, etc) wiggling all over the screen are pathetic and annoying.
-
Jesus! What other programming can I watch on a Friday night? Something more interesting. Maybe the Weather Channel.
-
This game is a perfect example of why we will go nowhere in the playoffs. The lack of focus is astonishing. Holtby has to be thinking that this is what got him in a funk in the first place -- no defense in front of him whatsoever. Just pathetic.
-

I've never noticed you calling anyone else by their number. And yes I remember conversations that matter. Yours don't matter.
-
I wonder if Gerisch can play D?
-
A play that hurt us on that last goal that most people probably didn't see was Kuznetsov leaving the zone early. Faulk got by Stephenson and went to the spot Kuznetsov vacated.
-
I wonder if Gerisch can play D?
Not sure. He played mist if last game in the offensive zone.
-
Now THATS how to play in front of the Willie!!
-
Not sure. He played mist if last game in the offensive zone.
Well . . . That was sarcasm ;D , but at this point, might as well try anyone back there

Lady and I are tryin to guess the answer two the Triva Ques. .
I said Columbus first, not sure if they would count the Wings, or Trashers/Jets, Fla?
But I’ll-be-damned if we haven’t played the Canes . . .

these zebras are a fukin joke, as usual.

when you want to stop being a hypocrite you can call out everyone that types O V as well

I guessed Detroit, Florida, Columbus and Carolina. Didn't even consider Atlanta/Winnipeg franchise since they are now in the west. They didn't word it well so I assumed they meant teams that are in the east now. Not sure. Anyway that's my final answer and I'm too lazy to look.
-

OV is short for his name. Its not a number. You won't even say his name. Did you guys have a bad break up?
-
Jesus, that should be a delay of game. No excuse for the goal coming off the mooring there.
-
OV is short for his name. Its not a number. You won't even say his name. Did you guys have a bad break up?
Just got home, got caught up on the DVR and hopped on the board only to read useless drivel about using a name versus a number, as if it makes any difference at all. Can you just learn to let the little stuff go, or is it pathologic?
More importantly, this was the Carolina team I thought we'd see all year. They have a bunch of good young d-men and I thought they'd be better this year. Of course, we're helping them out by turnover it over as often as we have.
Time to steal another two points!
Let's GO C-A-P-S!!!
-
The interesting thing about this team right now is that the coach is mixing up the forward lines from game to game, trying to find the right combinations going into the playoffs. There has developed at least a hint of a goalie question, and the coach is still trying to figure out how he is going to deal with that going forward.
But since the two D'men were acquired at the deadline, once Kempny was inserted as Carlson's usual partner, there has been NO tinkering on defense. It seems as if, for better or worse, the team is locked into a fixed rotation on the blue line, and will not deviate, except between the bottom two partnering with Orpik. It seems to me as if the organization feels it has absolutely no wiggle room on how to organize the defense -- it HAS to be the way it is. No other fit is possible. Which is probably as clear an indication that the blue line is the weakness on the team as there is. There is no flexibility, no adaptability there.
-
Maybe if we pray hard and do the rosary continuously the Capitals defense can be resurrected on Sunday. ;)
-
If they keep singing the praises of Darling, it's only a matter of time before Locker drops the dreaded "hot goalie" phrase.

This is in the hunt for "worst performance of the year" from where I sit.
Just a very bad showing all around.
I know all teams have letdowns -- look at Pens v. Detroit, but they need to start looking like a playoff team.
-
Tarik with a nice looking suit/tie combo - maybe he should give some pointers to Joe and Craig. God knows the two of them come up with some God awful combinations some times.
-
Ovi checked our D off the play on that goal. LOL. We are just an embarrassment tonight.
Fucking pathetic.

Yup Orlov made can nice play in the offensive zone then hustled to get back on defense and Ovi takes him out of the play.

Holts was already looking at the bench at 3:20
-
Well that incredibly shitty effort from start to finish really ruined my fucking Friday night. What a crappy game from a team that doesn't come to play unless it decides it wants to.
-
Why the hell are they trying to skate against this bunch of fuckin midgets?
Do we not have another playbook translated in all the different Eurolamgues these guys speak in?
-

Ya' know that's what I was thinking, but are we selling Carolina short? Did we look so bad because we played like crap or did Carolina's defense just make us play that bad. Or, probably more likely, a combination of both?
-

Carolina isn't that bad if a team. A bit offensively challenged and they have had some goaltending issues. If they get average goaltending they would be a playoff team.
-
Every time we pull the goalie I cringe. We almost always give up an ENG in those situations. :'(
-
Here's to a better result Sunday.
Ovie's 1000th game.
At Pittsburgh.
Chance to clinch the division with a win.
Ovie versus Sid.
Maybe that'll be enough to inspire them to play with some passion!!!
-

You guys crack me up. This team had nothing to play for. If we come out and slam them in the mouth a few times they skate pretty and hide the rest of the night, but instead we play the ice capades style of play Carolina features and we get our asses kicked. Just crap for us to say "Wow, look at the Canes! They are awesome." No. They aren't. We just sucked.

C'mon man - no one said "Wow, look at the Canes. They are awesome". We just queried the same thing Alan May, Joe and Craig said - the Canes played a good game, which made us look that much worse.

Lol no one said the Canes we awesome. They arent a bad team though. I already said we should have played this team more physical. The Canes try to shy away from the physical stuff. And so did we tonight. Even Wilson and Orpik weren't hitting tonight.

You are missing my point entirely. Even though you say you have nothing against Carlson but it is apparent that you do. You blame him for his mistakes and everyone else's. And your feelings are so strong against him that you can't even say his name. Like I said you guys must have had a bad breakup.

Oh well it was a bad game. We should have destroyed this team physically.

Damn right, we do absolutely horrendous against teams who play that faggy-pussy-stick “game”, it’s more like a figure skaters in a book club.
Yet year afte year game after game, mo adjustments. “Skill” doesn’t beat that gay crap because it’s designed to beat skill. What it designed to beat is heavy, violent to wear down break a smaller and physically inferior team. (IOW a team with a roster and style like a Pacific team would assuredly win a series in 5 or less)

OK I just wrote a novel in response to your comment calling me an ass. I decided not to post it. Yes I am very offended but decided I wouldn't resort to that kind of conduct.
I guess one good thing about posting a long message on a messageboard is that it gives you time to think before you hit the send button. I don't want to get into a childish insulting match. I disagree with some of your views and you disagree mine. That's fine.
I'm not going to start name calling because we have differences of opinion.

I'm SO confused. I thought NAME CALLING was exactly what you kept asking for. "Use his name, use his name"
So let me help (in my usual smart ass way)
not 74 but...

Johhny Qualude
Bong Boy
Big Johhny Q
Marshmallow
Lurch
FrankenLUDE
Johhny the Weed man
Smokin John Token
A real Norris Qualudate
JC Stoner
Johhny "the marshmallow"
Q-Tip

Okay, I'm done.
Hope you know I'm just pulling your chain.
But, what's with you and Alta anyway? "Can't we all just get along"
Both of you take offense from each other's comments where I don't see there being reason for it.
I understand if you take offense at THIS post....it is directed AT you, but really I'm just fooling and offer this in jest because both of you overreact to one another.

I don't take offense to this post at all. It is obvious you are pulling my chain. I don't have a problem with Alta. Im just pulling his chain. It is apparent that he doesn't feel the same way. It is was it is. I'm not going to lose any sleep over it.
