A 36-year-old accountant came into the game as the emergency goalie for the Chicago Blackhawks in the third period of their game last night against the Winnipeg Jets. Scott Foster last played at Western Michigan University in 2006, and had just been picked up as the Blackhawk's emergency goaltender earlier yesterday.
Regular Blackhawks goalie Anton Forsberg, who replaced Corey Crawford who's dealing with a concussion, was injured in practice yesterday morning, so backup Collin Delia started the game. Then Delia was injured in the third period with the Blackhawks up 6-2, so the call went out to Foster.
Foster did the dang thing and blocked all seven shots he saw.
