The New York Times has created a new class of people whom we are to feel sorry - hockey goalies - young ones more specifically.

Young Goalies Face the Puck

For many young people, sports become a focus of their lives. But hockey goalies face extra stress because they are, of course, targets.

Talk about "I feel your pain" run amok! I expect to see a series on soccer goalkeepers, baseball palyers who've been hit by a pitch and basketball players who have been "stuffed".

Oh, cruel world!
