I've not seen the guy in person, but I did get a chance to see him
on a tape delay back in October against Wisconsin.  I loved his
antics. Why do people insist on taking things so seriously?
 
He brings a little color to a position where you don't even see the
player's face!  Very few goalies show any emotion until after the
game is over.  Some exceptions come to mind, but they are few and

Things I like to see:  Two nights ago on ESPN, LA Kings' goalie,
Hrudley (SP?) stopped a penalty shot in OT.  Afterward he pumped
his stick and blocker a little.  No showboating, just a little
enthusiasm.
 
Things like this get the crowd in the game more, and after all
isn't the game for the fans also?
