How much raw athleticism is there in the goalie's job? Yeah, they can usually beat up all the non-goalie players, but what does he really do? He needs to have quick reflexes, and he needs to be able to do the splits, but he doesn't need to have the stamina or the skate speed of his teammates, ...that's like a 1st baseman. I could judge hockey based on analysis of one position, just like you've done with baseball.
