Chicago Blackhawks' emergency netminder Scott Foster is soaking in his special night.

Foster wasn't shy when chatting with reporters following his NHL debut, in which he stopped all seven shots he faced in relief and was named the game's first star.

The 36-year-old accountant thinks he has a lot left in the tank.

"I think I'm just hitting my prime," he told Mark Lazerus of the Chicago Sun-Times.

Even though the last appearance on Foster's HockeyDB was in 2005-06 with Western Michigan University, he's managed to stay sharp over the past 12 years.

"Who would have thought? You just keep grinding away in men's league, and eventually you'll get your shot," he said.

Now there's a point of motivation every men's league player can take with them.

This wasn't Foster's first time on call for the Blackhawks, as he says he's done somewhere between 12 and 15 games. He usually ends up watching the game from the press box, has a bite to eat, and heads home. Yet, on Thursday, all it took was one injury for him to dress, and another to get him into the game.

"I'm an accountant by day, so a few hours ago I was sitting on my computer typing on the 10-key," he said. "Now I'm standing in front of you guys, just finished 14 and a half minutes of NHL hockey."

It's safe to say Foster will be pretty popular around the water cooler during his next shift.

"You know, it's funny. You think there'd be a lot of pressure. But really, tomorrow, I'm going to wake up, I'm going to button up my shirt, and I'm going to go to my day job," he said. "What pressure is there for me?"

Perhaps the reason Foster claims he felt no pressure, was because the whole thing was just a blur for him.

"The initial shock happened when I had to dress," he said. "And then I think you just kind of black out after that."

While he may have blacked out during the game, the whole experience is certainly something he will never forget.
