Reports are surfacing that goalies all throughout the NHL were suddenly stricken with brief bouts of illness early Saturday afternoon. Very strange symptoms were universally reported, including profuse sweating, chills, anxiety, and the sudden urge to ask their athletic trainers to reinforce their chest protectors with extra padding. It took a while for the news to get around and a common cause to be determined, but many are attributing it to the injury clearance of one Teemu Pulkkinen.
