It's easy to forget that goalies are only humans. What they do on the ice may not be human, with wild flexible athleticism, but when it comes to dealing with a virus, they are no better than the rest of us.
During last night's game against the Tampa Bay Lightning, goaltender Filip Gustavsson mysteriously had to leave the ice during the third period.
When head coach Dean Evason was asked about it after the game, he responded quite candidly:
He skated off and puked his brains out
Evason equally confirmed that Gustavsson would be evaluated by the medical team. Hopefully this will just be a funny story that Gustavsson can tell for years to come!
