Question-

Are there any rules prohibiting the size/weight of a goalie? Could a team sign a really fat person, like 600+ lbs as a goalie and they could just plop right in front of the goal and prevent any pucks from getting through? I've always wondered by nobody tried this.

There was a show on ESPN that would answer these questions and had one on this question. They used an NHL enforcer and a huge fat guy in goalie gear and still the guy could score off him with ease

Preds could lose every game until the end of time

hawks could lose 5 of their next 6

ANA/LA game in shoot out. Win this DUCKS

I've wondered this but I think the consensus was that such a player would die from a combination of his unhealthy weight and the extreme perspiration/dehydration - you have to wear tons of heavy, protective equipment as a goalie.

No way, sumo wrestlers need to exert more energy fighting then sitting in front of a goal.

Gear size and the fact they can't move laterally. There will always be a space big enough for the puck to get through, no matter how fat the goalie is.

Where's that video of George Parros and the sumo goalie?

I guess I was overestimating how much space a 600lb guy would take up in front of a goal. Reflexes are clearly much more important then size.

I lied

Preds could get relocated to a better market.

yup, size in terms of height helps, but even then reflexes and athleticism are more important.
