Being a goalie requires large amounts of agility and the fattest man in world most likely has none and would probably be bed-ridden.

Being a goalie is not a matter of girth but of agility and flexibility. A goalie must be fast on theiir feet and be able to move quickly and contort himself into many positions in search of the elusive puck. A bigger man could not move as quick or be able to positon himself at the speed needed.

The fattest man in the world is probably confined to his house. Someone would need to destroy every door frame from his house to the rink for him to be able to get on the ice. I don't think that the NHL would like to re-size all their door frames for obese goalies.
Besides, I don't think that a fat person would like to sit in front of a net to get tons of bruises.

Uh, because the net is 6 FEET WIDE...I don't know about you, but I have not run across such a beast. Besides that, even if there is just the size of a puck's window clear to the goal, NHL players would still score. Also, again with their accuracy, I am sure they would try to aim repeatedly at his head to get him out of the game as injured.

I think the fattest man would not be able to get outta bed. I dont think the NHL will allow beds on the ice.

Because the fattest man wont be able to bend over to put the skates on.

Do you know what kind of shape you have to be in to be a NHL goalie, it's probably one of the most demanding positions on the ice.

I don't think they would be good goalies as most can not get out of bed. Except for maybe that belly-flop person, he looks pretty awesome.

That cant happen because usually fat people are not very athletic. And to be a goalie(even though it doesnt seem so) you have to be very athletic.
