In honor of Ben Bishop, the Blues' leader in most goaltending categories (of those who have played more than 16 minutes, Marek) who is currently playing in Peoria, check this vid from his NAHL days.

And yeah, we don't know what's up with the announcer, either.

Don’t goaltenders read scouting reports? Didn’t this dude know Bishop was 6’7"?! Anyway, he got what was deserved.

And that HAD to be a broadcaster from the local Y.

Is that Joey Styles form ECW? “Oh my God!!!”

Dude, that other goalie was a midget!!!

Bishop must not have lookd as big from the other end of the ice. Sort of like a mountain that looks small in the distance but them looms up to blot out the sky as you approach it.

A Joey Styles reference?!!! This is going to be a good day.

“Holy moly!” An obvious shout out to god coming to give his strength to the bishop. The announcers were obviously smarter than they first appeared.

a) lat time i was game side (panthers) the blues showed a vintage game of the blues TYING the panthers in an early season tilt. show more bishop fighting vids instead and more people go to seats early (which of course means more beer sales)

b) i’m pretty sure someone got a lower body injury

c) ben bishop picked up more penaties in that clip than his entire ncaa career!
