Among the major sports, there's nothing quite like the goalie position in the Stanley Cup playoffs.
Goalies are the guys. They are the guys who either stop pucks or absorb criticism. They are the guys who get unlucky and have a puck deflect in off a skate or a stick ... and still get ripped. They are the guys who get lucky and have an opponent miss an open net ... and still get praised.It must mess with your mind. It has to mess with your mind. But the Sharks' goalie, Martin Jones, says the only approach is to keep your brain in some sort of placid jelly.
