‘When Goalies Were Weird’ is a six-part narrative podcast from theScore about some of the most fascinating characters in NHL history. Host John Matisz profiles unforgettable ‘90s-era goalies by talking to former NHL stars, Hockey Hall of Famers, coaches, broadcasters, and executives. These goalies played when the position was undergoing a revolution in style and substance - the butterfly goalie replaced the stand-up, and equipment got bigger and lighter. The old guard's quirks and the new guard's innovations melded together to produce an era of pure chaos inside and outside the blue paint.
