The NHL does emergency goalie. I say let 1 dude play for both teams

In my opinion it is the greatest moment in sports every single time a regular Joe is forced into an NHL game to play goalie.

Watching the Leafs lose to their own Zamboni driver was simply incredible.

The chances of a regular Joe getting carted off playing goalie is wayyyy less than the average Joe getting carted off playing QB. That is not to downplay goalie, it is insanely hard. They’ll let up a shit ton of goals and probably get hurt, but there’s a good chance the average person is permanently injured or disfigured playing QB.

I wasn’t suggesting letting non-professionals play NFL QB, just professing my love of randos playing NHL goalie. You are right, it would be criminal to have some dude with two years of NAIA QB experience drop back against NFL edge rushers.

they aren't exactly average Joe's. the Zamboni driver played hockey at a high level, just not professionally. any backup QB would be a decent QB, just not a professional player.
