Dishy Goalie Monday-- Matt Dalton

Alright, so this week we start our first DGM (dishy guy "goalie" monday)-- the concept is borrowed from writer Katie MacAlister and hopefully she won't mind if we put our own G5H spin on it.

This Monday's featured goalie is... drum roll please....... Matt Dalton.

Dalton is a member of the Boston Bruins system and is currently playing with the Providence Bruins of the AHl. He is posting a cool .918 save percentage.

My favourite part of Matt Dalton, is his ability to pull off so many different colour combinations. In the last three years he has played for an equal number of teams and leagues. This makes him by far one of the most accessible goalie prospects.

Dalton wore #1 while at Bemidji State from 07-09.

Next we find Dalton, in the ECHL with the Reading Royals... He spoiled the Florida Everblades hopes of a Kelly Cup run.

And finally at the Boston practice rinks with the other masked men of the Bruins system....

Sigh..... We await your visit Mr. Dalton.

Tall, Dark, and Bendy

There's something very interesting about goalies who wear dark pads, isn't there?

 This enigmatic fellow is Dov Grumet-Morris. He's kind of an intense looking dude.

Did I mention he's dominating the ECHL right now? He leads GAA, Save %, and has backstopped his team to the top of the league.

Of course, this is all par for the course for him. His stats are proof of that.

Seriously, the only bad thing about him? Boring warm-up.

Bits and Pieces

You guys continue to be absolutely awesome. So, while I work on a larger post for later, I have a few links I received via Twitter to hold you over.

- First, from @HockeyBroad, Corey Crawford failing to be anywhere near as awesome and bendy as Marty Turco.

- Next, from @julierubes, Brian Elliot showing us his goalie butt.

- Finally, from @txstarsgirl, John Grahame doing what has to be the best goalie stretch on Earth. I do believe it gave me the vapors.

Unfortunately, we're starting to run a bit low on pictures. If we run out, we'll have to dig into my supply of ECHL goalie pictures. As much as I adore Bobby Goepfert, Jaroslav Janus, and Dov Grumet-Morris, I don't think you guy want to see 15 posts of them (I really do have that many pictures worth).

Also, feel free to send us links to YouTube videos, stories on your favorite goalie, or any good interview you read. We're not picky here!
