The Beer League Leafs needed a replacement goalie for a win-or-go-home semifinal playoff game -- and they got a Hockey Hall of Famer to fill in.
The Beer League Leafs, a 40-and-over adult hockey team in South Florida, sat nervously in their dressing room. With their starting goalie unavailable, they didn't have a clue who would be in the net for their win-or-go-home semifinal playoff game that night.
"In reality, it was a combination of them needing a goalie and Luongo being at the practice that day and saying, 'Hey, I'll play,'" said Zach Randolph, adult hockey coordinator for the Panthers IceDen in Coral Springs. As Bargman tells it, the No Regretzkies are comprised of players who used to be on the Beer League Leafs a few years ago. Things happened, disagreements persisted and"they left me and started their own team," he said.Among the players who left the Leafs was Petr Schastlivy, 45, who played 129 games in the NHL with theBargman said one of the philosophical issues between himself and his former players was that he didn't want to have NHL players such as Schastlivy on his team.
"They were in a pinch and needed a goalie. And I'm not exactly gonna tell Louie 'no,'" Randolph said."I was sure half of the other team was going to be upset about it and the other half would be like, 'Holy s--- we have the opportunity to score against Roberto Luongo." "He told me he was tired and wasn't going to make it through the whole game," Bargman recalled with a laugh.
