As if you needed further proof that goalies, as a whole, are just a weird lot.
A popular video making the rounds on the Internet ascertains these guys march to their own drummer and most times they aren't hearing the beat, if you catch my drift.
The recent one-of-a-kind blind-man celebration from Kladno goalie Miroslav Kopriva after stopping Petr Ton in a shootout during a game in the Czech Republic is ample proof, yet again, that goalies just aren't all there.
Hey, I should know. I've spent most of my life taking a fair share of rubber missiles off my head, chest and various parts of my anatomy, all in the name of preventing that bloody red light from going on behind me.
Now, come on, tell me you didn't get a chuckle watching Kopriva's brief routine. If not, you may want to invest in a sense of humor.
Through the years, goalies have, if nothing else, proven to be loose cannons.
If Ray Emery isn't getting into altercations with retired postal workers on the highway, he is smiling while taking on not one, but two opponents. Or if he isn't fighting his own teammate, he is pointing an accusing finger at police for getting pulled over one too many times.
Of course, nothing gets a goalie more revved up than mixing it up with his colleague at the opposite end of the ice, and there have been some dandies over the year. From Patrick Roy and Chris Osgood to Felix Potvin and Ronnie Hextall, goalies prove they can toss knuckles with the best of them.
Or who can forget Curtis Joseph blowing a gasket during a playoff game with the Senators? And Hextall etched himself in whack job lore by jumping Chris Chelios seconds before his Flyers were eliminated?
Hockey has always had its cast of characters, from Eddie Shack through Jeremy Roenick, guys who can steal the show even if they don't hit the scoresheet.
But they've got nothing on the strange breed that is the goaltender.
Something Miroslav Kopriva proved yet again.
