Now he just gotta go breastfeed a baby

That has got to be one of the best sports stories EVER! With all the shit going on in the world, to read about this is just uplifting!
UranusSpelunker
I don’t really like sports much but I can honestly say this made my day.
TOOFATTOWIPE
nightof11bangbangs
I liked the first 9 tribute posts i saw, now its getting redonkulous
Nichomon
So, I wonder if someone might try to sign him for a team now?
GinGi79
Brett Leonhardt talked about his experience doing this with the Capitals. If you dig this story, his is on Youtube under 2009 MeiGray expo.
HeySammieRae
Go Red Wings!!!
Tomcruiser
Hey congratulations to him on his success!
denigreur
Look at Ryan Whitney's twitter account for some salt.
smilnthorp
He played great! Stopped a mean slap shot from Byfuglien off the point. It was so wonderful to watch.
ExileonDaytonStreet
His post game interview was absolute gold: https://streamable.com/qkouq
TheManInsideMebyDrTobiasFunke
Oh he killed that post game. Sounded exactly like a beer league player.
Mytrashpanda101
Just awesome
KarakLohr
The best part was they were chanting his name during the game and all the hawks jumped him after like he had just won them the Stanley Cup
banananamz
I read the second tweet too fast and thought it said that he stopped 7 shots with his face. Was like "well shit"
obligatoryguy
You thought it was just Scott Foster, but it was, in fact, the impregnable face of SCOTT STERLIIIIIING!!

Sorry. I only posted this so I could copy the gif
BeansForShort
He is also only one of 10 goalies with a 1.000 career save percentage and 7 saves or more.
lighterletter
This guys fuckkkkksss
greatergood
Time to retire!
DumbCanadian
This story is fucking great. The first star and great interview just cement this guy as a legend.
RocketButler
His interview was SO much better than regular player interviews
Trimule
Won every game in his entire NHL career - more than your Wayne Gretzky or Bobby Howe types can say!
maxalaxa
No T
PugPugPugPug
Technically not a win. The Jets would have had to tie and the the Hawks would have had to scored to classify it as a win.
shoeboxbonfire
Gordie Howe or Bobby Orr?
TheDangaZone22
Yes

I wish ice hockey was on TV in the UK

THIS IS FUCKING RAAAAAADDDDD
Southbird85
+1 for the fps on the second #2 and for a hockey post.
RickestMorty
If they win the Championship will he get a ring?
Exceleratefresh
that was the mortiest question you could have asked
Geckuro
nice
crunchb3rry
Would have been cool if both teams laid their sticks in his net after the post-game handshakes.

They won't suck next year.
UnsolicitedRichardPicture
It’s a transition year. Saw a lot of friends jump off the bandwagon this year so maybe tickets will be easier to come by next season.
TheMortyistMorty
That’s what I’m hoping for. I’m definitely going to one more before the season ends

Tax season will be a breeze.
Txgoose
Guys, he’s an accountant. His business will make a ton thanks to publicity
Justusfora11
You know I was just think it might be the opposite. That’s another whole w-2 to have to process
PianoMan2112
Maybe a 1099; I don't know if that makes it better or worse. I'm thinking worse.
Einstein9073
1099 literally always makes it worse. 100%, no contest.
harrywallbanger
I hate the Blackhawks but this is awesome!
DandelionFritter
Try hating them while living in their state. Go Sens!
illinestvillain
I with this guy
erichinosis
Hate the Blackhawks? Are you from Vancouver or Detroit?
laowarriah
Or St. Louis
FriendHere
Detroit. Can concur, hate the blackhawks.
TheManInsideMebyDrTobiasFunke
Still? That's weird since they are in a different conference now. My hate for the wings lessened after that. Now, fuck the Blues and Preds.
TheChurchIsHere
Could also be Nashville.
TheManInsideMebyDrTobiasFunke
Probably Nashville. They're like crossfitters or vegans when it comes to telling people how much they hate the Blackhawks.
Airwreck82
or Minnesota... I hate them too.
Twichy
Or Tampa Bay...also hate them.
MachineGunJeanMaurice
That's gotta be at least a 5,000$ payday!
DoggoPicsMakeMeHungry
He could probably cash it in for booty.
Kalz0ne
“If Foster had played previously, he would have been paid $500 for his services in the game & he would have been allowed to keep his jersey”
CrazyCanuckGoalie
On the highlights they said he was paid $500. What an experience though!
rabidmidgets
The rules for the type of contract is 500 bucks and he gets to keep his game worn jersey
AlmightyDylon
If they make a save arnt they officially on the roster for the season as well?
IAmWAYTooOldForThisShite
no
KurtGSpud
No compensation actually. He did it for free.
callmeobvious
Foster signed a Professional Tryout Contract, which pays him nothing. Not a penny.
callmeobvious
But the exposure he's getting is worth way more than $5k, imo.
brothersport
How, exactly?
hockeyham
I believe a junior hockey team hired him as their accountant., he gets to watch games from luxury box (free booze) when in standby.
27yoUGLYvirgin
Are you actually asking how playing for an NHL team in a proper game and making 100% saves is worth more than some money? I mean you
27yoUGLYvirgin
Understand that he will probably get scouts looking at him now that wouldn't have known him before?
kruttlapp
I'm asking 5he same question. He's 36 and has another profession on the side, unless an amazing opportunity arises the exposure is worth 0
BraxtonFullerton
He took no salary on his one day contract with the team.
Chaseticles92
Right, not salary. What about a small loan of 10000000 dollars?
dismemberedtoddler
He’s probably getting paid in pussy.
lighterletter
I'd be okay with that
z3lfmoord
DankVoodoo
League minimum salary $525,000 divided by 82. $6402.44
AlmightyDylon
Emergency goalies are required by the NHL by every home team. They play for either side and cannot receive pay 1/2
AlmightyDylon
They get free dinner and get to sit on the bench. Worth it
Genini
Hell yeah it's worth it.
Doktor101
Unfortunately no. Amateur tryout. Got no compensation.
3RsReadingRitingRithmatic
Free beers for life after the story.
InadequatelyLongUserName
$500 apparently.
Doktor101
Nope. https://www.nbcchicago.com/blogs/madhouse-enforcer/scott-foster-pay-chicago-blackhawks-salary-winnipeg-jets-478419173.html
rockiesfan4ever
He got to keep the jersey though!
udick
He should get licensing rights for his jersey
