This Goalie Has Been Waiting His Whole Life To Lay Someone Out Like This
And that, boys and girls, is precisely what happens when you get stuck on the tracks as a train is coming through.
This poor kid in grey, man. Good cut through the crease. Probably wouldn't have gotten all turned around if he had just put the stick in his left hand. But he keeps the stick in his right, ball gets thrown behind him a little bit, he still makes the grab and thinks he's about to bomb one into the back of the net. Little did he know, goalie in white is the Iron Dome. There's nothing getting through to his crease, and he's going to make damn sure of that by his own self.
It has to be brutal growing up being a goalie your whole life. All you do is show up day after day to get shelled by a 5oz ball of solid rubber moving 60, 70, 80, 90+ miles per hour. All you wear is a shitty little chest protector because you'd get made fun of for eternity if you even considered putting on any leg protection. At most, lacrosse goalies can wear a pair of sweatpants without getting made fun of. No arm protection, no leg protection, just a piece of foam over top of your chest to make sure you don't get drilled in the heart.
Eventually the goalies are going to want to inflict a little pain and damage of their own. I'm sure this goalie has wanted to flatten someone like that in the crease his entire life. The only issue is he probably doesn't want to do it to one of his own teammates at practice every day, so he had to wait for the perfect moment to break it out in a game. When the opportunity presented itself, he was one scene to deliver like a bat out of hell.
The only thing more shocking than the fact that the kid in grey popped up after this hit is that ol' #9 wasn't the goalie. Absolute demon at short stick d-mid.
