The Best Save of All Time?

[MBTendy]

Gotta go with the Nabby’s save against the Stars. Remember staying up for that game and couldn’t believe it when Nabby made that save. Just unreal. Thought for sure SJ would have rallied and won the series after that.

Hasek with his penis protector underwears. Was it against Carolina?

-It already exists. Game 7 of Stanley Cup Finals, 6 seconds left in game 7 on Detroit home ice. Fleury with biggest save in Stanley Cup History to win the Cup.

But Fleury still sucks and is pretty much useless, always have been. Atleast that's what many people on hfboards states.

 

[Riseonfire]

Varlamov v Crosby. That paddle save........

HM: Holtby on... Englland?

 

[Datsyukian Deke]

Any Hasek save will pretty much do it for me.

Another underrated one I always thought, was CuJo's paddle save on Corbet from his Edmonton days in 98.

 

[Lexus]

Not the NHL, but I always liked this one.

Yeah that Cujo save was huge. Every time I watch it Im shocked he actually made that save

Cujo save on Nieuwendyk in game 7 OT in 1997

"oh my goodness!"




Oilers came down and scored seconds later to upset the Stars

This one wasn't the dying seconds of game 7 but under 4 minutes to go. Pisani flubbed it a bit at first but gets a good wack as Cam had his leg extended and won us the cup.

 

[Old Gregg]

I've always liked this Fleury save on Karlsson

 

[Machinehead]

As a goalie of the last 25 years, that Quick save would have gotten my vote if not for this:

Skjei-Pionk, ladies and gentlemen.

 

[Bramskii]

Brodeur Save on Danny Briere in Philly.

 

[Nikishin al Gaib]

That one had the most meaning, but it wasn't even the best save by Ward of that series. That goes to this gem from Game 6.


Of course, I still think this is the best save ever for the Canes, at least since they moved down from Hartford. Game 5 OT, series tied 2-2.


Canes win the game not too long after, and Weekes shuts out NJ in Game 6 1-0 to move on, starting their improbable run to the 2002 Stanley Cup Finals.

 

[Tkachuk4MVP]

I will always remember this one from Ice Hot 2, still have yet to see a save like it:

 

[newfy]

Patrick Roy statue of liberty in 02 was my favourite

 

[Crosbyfan]

If it's not late in a 7th game with the game on the line and 90% or more luck it won't be in the running.

No one wants to see "good positioning on that one..."

Even though game 1 looked ugly on the score sheet with a box score of 5-4, Edmonton could have had 10 if it weren’t for some insane glove saves by Ward.

I will always remember this one from Ice Hot 2, still have yet to see a save like it:

Richter in 94 vs NJ did it better lol

 

[CHGoalie27]

Skjei-Pionk, ladies and gentlemen.

...and those are our good defensemen!

Most people just have no way to fathom that he has had a career of holding up different versions of this exact display of defense. One amongst the things that make Hank the best goaltender I have seen.

As a goalie, I grew up with Richter on one channel and Brodeur and his defense on the other...i can't believe how too many people analyze goaltending...with way too much inconsideration. At least Richter had Leetch tho.

 

[The Macho King]

That’s a great save as far as importance, but not quality.

I always find the last ditch effort stick saves to be awesome, but there have been many of those.

A unique and awesome save actually happened last season, with Vasilevsky’s behind the back glove save.

Which one?

 

[Tkachuk4MVP]

Richter in 94 vs NJ did it better lol

I don't know to which save you're referring and there doesn't appear to be any video of it, so my statement that I "have yet to SEE a save like" Hackett's stands.

 

[The Macho King]

This was from when he was in the KHL, but it's still my favorite Vasi save(s):

It's like a figure skating combo that ends in a quad. The first save is good. The second save is stupid good. The third save + the awareness not to cross over the line himself? Just absurd.

 

[MarkusKetterer]

That Dallas - San Jose game was the first time one of my ex-gfs ever watched hockey. Even without knowing much about the game she still knew just how huge that save was and got just as excited as I did seeing that.
