[Ads-l] read in the NYTimes _typing on a 10 key_

[Andy Bach]

Article about an accountant who suits up with an NHL team, following a new
rule that teams have 3 suited goalies for each game. The third is a sort of
whomever they can find. In this case, the starting goalie hurt himself in
warmups, the 2nd string had never played an NHL game but had a 6-3 lead
with 17 mins to go when he cramped so bad they had to send in the 3rd guy.
He describes how he was just typing on a 10 key (doing accounting stuff -
the 10 key number pad. Took me a while to figure that part out ;-) and
there he was playing in the NHL.  Made 7 saves, gave up no goals
