Mark my words, the shrunken goalie power-up will end up being NHL Arcade's equivalent of Mario Kart's near-unavoidable blue shell. Whoever has it will have smile deviously, knowing full well that when it's unleashed, opponents will cry "it's not fair!"

Don't forget, EA Canada has always said that 3 on 3 NHL Arcade isn't meant to be realistic or serious. The downloadble game hits PS3 and Xbox 360 in February for $10.
