Goal Scorers

HE SHOOTS, HE SCORES???

Goalies are supposed to stop goals from going in, right? Well, there have been a few netminders to take a crack at the scoring title by scoring goals of their own. This feat is rarer than a perfect game in baseball, and much more exciting to see. Take a look at the tape of Brodeur scoring his first NHL goal, that is excitment at its best! Anwyay, here is a little tribute to the offensive goalies that have scored a goal (or 2) in the NHL:
