Pocket Goalie

Ladies and gentlemen I'd like to introduce you to the newest fad in goalies...




That teeny tiny, amazingly flexible goalie is Jeff Lerg. Currently playing for the Trenton Devils in the ECHL. He's listed at 5'6'', but I'm pretty sure that measurement was taken while he stood on his tiptoes wearing skates.

Have I mentioned that he has one of the best warm-ups I've ever seen?

And I can't forget his fondness for foxy saves...





We've got a big surprise planned for tomorrow! You won't regret checking back.

Pitton Goes Pipe-To-Pipe

Hi there, Poke Chick here with the netminder of the day.

We bring you a fabulous submission from Lyndall (@icebaby20), featuring Bryan Pitton of the ECHL's Stockton Thunder (currently on a call up with the AHL's Oklahoma City Barons). He's wearing a specialty jersey for a Pink in the Rink breast cancer awareness night.

Makes a girl want to go back door when he spreads 'em like that, eh?


Stats:
Born: January 26 1988, Mississauga, ONT
Height: 6.02
Weight: 176
Shoots: left

Here's a video of him in action last season while in net for the Springfield Falcons (AHL). Skip to :25 second mark to see where the fun begins.

Barely Legal

The next submissions comes to us from the Western Hockey League's Everett Silvertips. I had to do a little math to make sure both of these guys were over 18. Lucky for us, they are...




I believe the first would be Luke Siemens (I could be wrong), while the last two appear to be  Kent Simpson. Not only are these two fantastically flexible, their stats aren't too bad either.

These were submitted by @erinolsw0123, who was beaten out of the first submitter award by barely an hour. We'll go ahead and give the runner-up submitter award. So, if for whatever reason Ms. Crash can't fulfill her duties as first submitter ever, you will take over in her place.

*Insert Happy Noises*

Hello everyone! Byng here. You met PokeChick, and her amazing writing, yesterday. Now it's my turn. While I'm not as good a writer as the other ladies here, I'd like to think I make up for it in pure spunkiness and photographic abilities. I have to admit that I love that I woke up to two submissions in my inbox and had three more by the time I got out of the shower. The blog isn't even a day old and you guys are already sending us some delicious goalie photos. Honestly, you guys rock.

Now, on to the fun.

First up, we have an amazing shot of Marty Turco courtesy of @QueenCrash.

(I just became a Turco fan.)

Give a big round of applause to QueenCrash you guys. Not only does she win the award for being the first submitter to G5H, she also got to see that amazing yumminess in person.

Please keep the submissions coming! We absolutely love them. Make sure you include how you want to be credited. The next blog post is scheduled for 5. Make sure you check back, it's quite special.

Welcome!

Goalie porn, goalie sutra: every hockey fan has witnessed it.

It's that delicious on-ice flexibility that makes even the most seasoned yogis blush. Standing groin stretch? Seated hip internal rotation? Oh, baby!

Going Five-Hole has a specific dedication: those few moments between the pipes where a goaltender gets a little Marvin Gaye with his crease to prepare to stop some pucks. From making sexy saves and bawdy blocks, to standing up for teammates and commanding the crease with butterfly style, stand-up or hybrid - we're all about the fierceness of the guys in big pads.

Feel free to submit your own photos of goalie porn in the wild from any level: NCAA, SPHL, FHL, CHL, ECHL, AHL, NHL (just make sure those 'tenders are of age).
