Reply to comment by Eroe777 in [Sportsnet] Linus Ullmark of the Boston Bruins scores a goalie goal against Vancouver! by BCLetsRide69

Dang this is crazy. I had no idea this was so rare. Apparently the goals were scored by 13 total goalies, and 8 of them have scored with an actual shot on goal. For comparison, 12 men have walked on the moon.

Part of the reason is that the situation has to be just right (it's very rare) and the other part is that if he misses, it's icing.

The NHL isn't the only profesional league in the world. A goalie scored just the other week in the swedish second division.

Yes my bad, there are no other pro hockey leagues in the world.
No matter the context, this is equivalent to landing on the moon.

I'm not saying it's not fucking dope, because it is. But it happens... And it happend the other week, in a pro league, with a drafted player.
