CHICAGO -- There are two things Scott Foster would like to clear up. One: Despite ribbing from the Chicago Blackhawks equipment staff, he did not use a wooden stick in his 14 minutes of heroism last spring (his sticks are quite old, but they are foam core). Two: Yes, Foster is an accountant, but despite the convenient narrative that he came to save the day, stopping all seven shots he faced against the high-powered Jets, in the middle of tax season, he does not, in fact, do taxes. Foster's specialty is financial services.
Other than that, everything about this everyman's improbable tale is as wild as you remember.
