He was thrust into action because of injuries to goalies Anton Forsberg and Collin Delia.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size: 14pt;color: #000000\">More: How did a 36-year-old accountant play goalie in Chicago Blackhawks&#8217; win?<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size: 14pt;color: #000000\">&#8220;Overall, our starting accountants have been doing a good job for us,&#8221; said Lehv. &#8220;But as we all know, anything can happen in the crazy, fast-paced world of accounting. Last year&#8217;s Academy Awards are a prime example. We couldn&#8217;t see a guy like Scott Foster misplacing the Best Picture envelope. He seems like a &#8216;no loopholes&#8217; kind of guy.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size: 14pt;color: #000000\">Foster is a married father of two who plays in two recreational leagues.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size: 14pt;color: #000000\">&#8220;To perform like he did, in the height of tax season, really showed us how well he can balance things,&#8221; said Lehv.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size: 14pt;color: #000000\">He now has a whole hockey community of fans behind him, including the Steel, who hope to host Foster in their final home game April 13.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size: 14pt;color: #000000\">But it will come with some work \u2014 as Lehv says, &#8220;We&#8217;d love to get Scott here to drop the ceremonial puck, enjoy the first period, and then dive into our 2017 returns during the remainder of the game.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size: 8pt;color: #000000\">Source:-https:\/\/www.usatoday.com\/story\/sports\/nhl\/2018\/03\/30\/scott-foster-ushl-chicago-blackhawks-steel-accountant\/474403002\/<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"fb-background-color\">\n\t\t\t  <div \n\t\t\t  \tclass = \"fb-comments\" \n\t\t\t  \tdata-href = \"https:\/\/www.biphoo.com\/bipnews\/sports\/hockey-team-asks-scott-foster-blackhawks-emergency-goalie-for-tax-form-help.html\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-numposts = \"10\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-lazy = \"true\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-colorscheme = \"light\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-order-by = \"social\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-mobile=true>\n\t\t\t  <\/div><\/div>\n\t\t  <style>\n\t\t    .fb-background-color {\n\t\t\t\tbackground: #ffffff !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t.fb_iframe_widget_fluid_desktop iframe {\n\t\t\t    width: 630px !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t  <\/style>\n\t\t  ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hockey team asks Scott Foster, Blackhawks&#8217; emergency goalie, for tax form help Scott Foster has proven he can handle the pressure of an NHL game.
