My Favorite Goalie Tantrums
I love goalies. No secret there. One of my favorite things in the world is a goalie tantrum. I decided to compile a little list of my favorites.
5. Jean-Sebastian Giguere reacts after Mikko Koivu scores the Wild's 3rd goal in under 2 minutes, and chases him off the ice.
4. Ilya Bryzgalov throws stick and almost hits ref.
Not a terribly dramatic tantrum, but when you almost hit a ref...that's good stuff! (added bonus, Marty Reasoner is the one who scored.
3. Cujo loses his mind and goes crazy on the ref.
A classic goalie fit.
2. Brodeur goes Crazy after goal with 0.2 seconds left! God I can just now barely watching this without throwing up. The tantrum itself is not that exciting, it's the source. Marty is usually so cool, calm and collected.
1. Tuukka Rask Goes Insane After Two SO Misses Count As Goals
This is my favorite fit to date. Tuukka absolutely loses his little Finnish mind! I understand being upset, that was a bullshit call.
Honorable Mention
Rochester Amerks goalie wants to make sure the goal judge has a clear view of the crease. Not a tantrum, but a great smart ass response.

I loved the videos of the goalie tantrums. I know you like Marty, but I don't think being bumped caused him to let the goal in. He was bumped then a few moments later the shot was made. And it wasn't like he was knocked completely down, he was only knocked off balance. I think he just threw a hissy fit for allowing the goal in and used the bump as an excuse.
CuJo has a history of 'tackling' refs. He did it when he played for Phoenix, too. He just gets so wired up that when he goes to talk to the ref, his momentum carries him into the ref.
My favorite tantrum of all time was by Patrick Roy when Colorado was in Phoenix. I forget how long ago it was, maybe 5 years. The Coyotes had been awarded a penalty shot and it was taken by rookie Krystofer Kolanos. Kris scored on Roy and Roy went batshit crazy. He threw his stick then went after the ref. Needless to say, he was ejected from the game.
Oh yes, I love my Marty! I think he was thinking there was gonna be a call DUE to the bump and he was a bit off his game waiting for it (always a mistake). God that whole thing was vomit. Ugh, I still can barely look at it.
I love seeing Roy go batshit crazy, I'll have to look that one up.
How awesome is the window washer??
