I am VERY MUCH a strong supporter and card carrier in the goalie's union....but Jesus Christ almighty that was over the line CLEARLY.... *sigh* NHL.....this is as bad as what is a "catch" in the NFL

 

this happened in a Devils-Flyers game once about ten years ago didn't it?? the puck was over the line, but it didn't count....this rings a bell......

That's what I remember about it too, something along the line, if the puck is in the glove (or was it blocker?) and that's over the damn line how can the puck NOT be over the damn line....it was quite a tirade :lol:

It's a nice save, but I'm never overly impressed by saves like this. He stuck his glove out and Dano shot it right into it. You see goalies do this every day, except it usually finds its way in.

 

You can say that about most spectacular saves, ever. Luck always plays a role, but when it's a pretty save it's a pretty save. Even Brodeur's "scorpion save", the shooter could've shot anywhere toward the net with a 95% success rate that he scores that goal, but Marty got lucky and it goes down as one of his greatest saves of all time. Same with most of his incredible stick-on-the-ice saves. To score, ideally the shooter elevates it, but in instances like these, it's all about reflexes and luck; gotta appreciate it for what it is!

That scorpion save is so tainted because the Rags scored shortly after it and all the replays have that stupid song playing in the background.
