Goalies seem to pop out of the net with startling regularity, often moving fully behind the net to drop the puck back there before returning to the front. It seems nerve-wracking every time— how can they risk being so far out of position with the offense closing in fast?
Obviously they only do this when they have the puck themselves, but it seems like they could easily be knocked away from it while they’re leaving the net empty and vulnerable.
Please explain why they do this!

Goalie here. It’s cuz no one is gonna fuck with us and if they do, my team will take care of it. It’s like a bonus protection that we use to do whatever we can with the puck that would be more difficult for a regular player. Also, it’s just an unwritten rule of mutual respect for both teams.
