In NHL history 9 different goalies have scored 11 goals.
5 goalies have shot and scored 6 goals:
Ron Hextall (2), 1987, 1989
Chris Osgood, 1996
Martin Brodeur, 1997
Jose Theodore, 2001
Evgeni Nabokov, 2002
Nabokov's was kinda funny...you could see him looking for someone to pass to and, not finding anyone, he *literally* shrugged, looked, aimed, and shot it into the empty net at the other end of the ice. =)
5 have been credited with a goal without actually shooting the puck:
(the goalie was the last member of the scoring team to touch the puck before the scored-on team scored, what in soccer is called, an 'own-goal'.)
Bill Smith, 1979
Damian Rhodes, 1999
Martin Brodeur, 2000
Mika Noronen, 2004
Chris Mason, 2006
Note that Martin Brodeur is on both lists - one goal of each type.
Not that I follow goalies or anything. =)
(I confess to using the NHL site to get the years right, though.)

Each team member has to have some kind of talent, it's not a random mob effort.
I get the feeling that the disdain isn't just for the concept of a team sport but more for the fact that it's not as some bloody, violent mess.
