I read it...basically the guy wanted to know if you could put a huge fat guy in net in the NHL and have it work. It was pretty comical actually and the guy went out and actually worked the ropes to find out if it was legal, possible, and tried it (with a college goalie in a fat guys suit).

Fun read.

LOL nice find Mike.
Way back in the early to mid 70's, Neilson was coaching an OHA Tier 1 Junior team and they had a one goal lead in a big game. He had gone through the rule book and found out there was nothing prohibiting what he was about to do - he pulled a forward off the ice and put in 2 goalies at once in the last minute. Long argument with the ref, and Neilson demanding the ref show where in the rule book this was prohibited, all resulted in the Ref saying no way to 2 goalies at once. Plus, in the off-season they actually updated the CAHA rule book to specifically state 6 skaters at full strength where one and only one of those 6 could be a goalie.

Hitting someone over the head is no way to treat them when they compliment you. However, maybe it is in Canadia... i've never been there.
