Huzzah!
Question that's been nagging on since I saw this thread and it immediately recalled Cloutier beating on Salo...how do goalie vs. goalie fights usually get started? Do you skate all the way to the other side of the ice if the goalie pulls some poo poo on one of your guys screening him? Do you watch the other players fighting, look at each other, and just shrug "why the hell not" and go at it?

Speaking of Cloutier (and with the memories of the Ty Conklin of old still fresh in my mind) are there any professional goaltenders that a camp or position coach would tell you "yeah, you know that guy, whatever you do don't emulate his style"? Do you think some particularly unpopular professionals get unfairly shafted due to a poor defensive unit/unluckiness?

One more question...how much is success based on natural skill/quick reflexes vs. flawless technicality and positioning? Is it possible to be so naturally adept as to never need to learn the technical aspects?
