"I tried to eat as clean as possible; I got the naked wings without any sauce or breading. Did get some fries. Turned out to be the pregame meal of champions."
"So Knight and [Arvid] Soderblom will not be in the building tonight. We need you to get there early. You're going to dress."
"Everyone needs goalies. So I fill in when I can."
Dave Nozzolillo, a 45-year-old Wintrust Bank employee and longtime beer-league goalie, serves as one of the Chicago Blackhawks' four designated emergency backup goalies on a 1099 basis. He normally gets paid $100 to be on call and usually only watches games at the United Center. When Spencer Knight and Arvid Soderblom were sidelined by the flu, Nozzolillo was summoned to dress and play. He had been at a nearby Hooters, had soaked gear from washing it that day, tumbled it briefly in a dryer, and drove 30 minutes to the arena to reach the team.
