goaltending 

(n.) variation of rebounding where, rather than wait for a relationship to end, the third party intercepts one of the involved individuals for the purposes of hooking up or starting a new relationship. Often leads to the end of the original relationship.

The act may be in violation of one or more of the man/woman codes, but has the capacity to result in the third party getting away with it, for his/her own benefit.

She wasn't happy in her marriage and the guy was a total tool. It may have been goaltending, but everyone won. Except for Steve... but f*** that guy.

goaltending 

Trying to stop a couple from hooking up even though it's already obvious that this is an impossible task. In other words, an attempt at cock blocking long after it could ever succeed. Make sure you use the appropriate NBA referee gesture when calling it.

"That's goaltending on Shaun. Count it anyway."

goaltending 

After a controversial posting on social media or a comment on a comment thread, one must be goaltending the post/thread against internet trolls and other commenters from ruining the post/thread.

They spent the better part of the day goaltending their post from internet trolls.
