The thing about a goalie duel is: the winner is never a goalie. Someone scores eventually, and she becomes the hero whose name is remembered forever, who lifts a trophy and receives the cheers while the goalie who was never bested has to say humble things while he holds the team up on his shoulders a little longer—through the celebration.
The thing about a goalie duel is: there is a loser. Someone lets in a goal eventually, and she becomes the one who was not good enough, the goat who has to bear up under that and shake it off, move on to the next game.
