this video was uploaded before game 2 haha

[@michaelshields6326]

@@chrishayes653 I think the one Varlamov had on Crosby was better tbh.

[@hiphopstar765]

Haha anyone else think that the Caps best save should've been "the save" by Holtby in the finals against Vegas?

[@JMMurray203]

Considering I don't even remember the save they say was the most memorable for the Caps while I got a framed picture of The Save? Yeah I'd say they bungled it.

[@KyleMacSkill]

@@the6ig6adwolf Holtby's save was equally impressive as Mclean's and was integral to a cup win (The 1st ever of a franchise to boot). Sorry Kurt, maybe if that save led to a cup but Holtby's is much more deserving of the name.

[@KaleFGB]

Being honest, From a Caps fan, The Caps should of been Game 1, 2009, Varlamov's save on Crosby. Varlamov's save took more skill and was more impressive, but Holtby's was on a bigger stage.

[@Stokie09123]

Purely for Doc’s “ohhhhhhhhh it didn’t goooooo!!!!!!!!!”

[@motleysurfer]

I wouldn't say Varlys save took more skill, each were desperation saves more or less. Im not a Caps fan but have always liked watching them play and its definitely Holtbys paddle save.

Thanks and soon Seattle sockeyes

[@craggbartbartel1307]

Thats the Holtby save is it? Can't think of one that might have been a little more important? I can.

[@hockeyluver2011]

craggbart bartel I was thinking the SAME exact thing. No way that save they have is more memorable

[@a.jfercho1864]

I don't know, guys. That save got them a big two points in a regular season game. What save could POSSIBLY be more memorable?

[@boland73]

craggbart bartel memorable and skilled are 2 different things. Just cause there’s a big save in a big moment doesn’t make it a better save than one during the regular season. THAT BEING SAID, I thought it was gonna be his stick save against Vegas in the playoffs too

[@lrba5524]

@@boland73 this is the most memorable saves...

[@DWenck]

Wow I found the comment I belong to. Did not need to write mine

[@FoxGoalie]

I don't know why but that Nabokov save is my favourite of all time. Timing, Athleticism, Richards putting everything into the shot, the timing in the series, the fan reaction ...

[@matthewvanoirschot6076]

It's the best save ever in my opinion. Elimination game in the playoffs, overtime. Richards got everything on the shot and he snagged it off the goal line. A save every goalie dreams about.

[@mtril123456]

It just doesnt get anymore clutch, its pure bliss to watch

[@gurviratwal8170]

Mark Thiel his name makes it x10s better. “SAVE NABOKOV”

[@Statsy10]

I gotta be honest. I think that one was a goal.

[@xthebumpx]

​@@Statsy10 the puck's completely visible in the overhead shot and it never crosses the line.

[@mcfleury]

Everyone doubting Carter Hutton this season and he's on this list twice. What a beaut.

[@mysticsaxophone4181]

In all fairness, The Preds should've had Rinne doing the similar save in playoffs against Hawks.

[@mcfleury]

MysticSaxophone Yeah I remember that, I think I preferred Rinne's

[@josephbelk3924]

I hope Buffalo treats him better than St. Louis did. he's one of my favorites to watch.

[@seadav0183]

Loved him when he was in Nashville

[@mcfleury]

Joseph Belk Buffalo is gonna be a fun team to watch this year

[@crftrains5171]

Shouldn’t the Pens greatest save be the one Flower had in the 09 game 7?

[@matthewsmith2237]

Crftrains no it should the save that’s actually nicknamed “the save by pens fans

[@HiImSeanIPlayBass]

absolutely.

[@HiImSeanIPlayBass]

Or Frankie Pietrangelo's "The Save".

[@ryanpowell9092]

Crftrains the true “The Save”. Holtby’s save is an imposter

[@lobsterfiddler]

HES SO GOOD HE DONE IT SO MANY TIMES!

[@awildermode]

Kipprusoff's 'Scorpion' save should have been in there.

[@boland73]

awildermode I thought that’s what it was gonna be cause it looks cooler and seems to have more skill but Brathwaite’s save is absolutely iconic! One of the most memorable saves ever

[@BenDover-iw4yv]

awildermode He was a disgrace to the league

[@nickpayne981]

Or his behind the back grab. When I think Kippy, I think of that save.

[@moi723]

Yep

[@guy5529]

The Mike Smith one was absolutely a goal!

[@jquicky1]

It does look like that, I looked at it and slowed it down for around 10 mins and realized that it didn’t fully cross the line although it mostly crossed the line, not all of it tho

[@willwiegelman3953]

Most memorable or most impressive? Either way I disagree with the Caps

[@Jens95]

Screw the one for the Wild... It could have been Harding's diving glove save when he injured his hip or Dubnyk's save against Nyquist.

[@case5895]

What's up Jens?

[@aaronb6878]

Jens95 Do you have clips for those 2 saves?

[@lobsterfiddler]

I KNOW RIGHT!!!

[@kylerschumacher3261]

Or the one against the kings

[@jakeflak1554]

I don’t get if you liked or disliked the save

[@thenitroviper6149]

Carter Hutton is possibly the most underrated goalie in the league.

[@MrHitchey]

Thenitroviper well, we’ll see how he does as a starter. there’s absolutely no way that save was the most memorable Blues save. Not even the most memorable save in the last couple years.

[@corewwolf5561]

That’s true jake Allen made a great one so I’d have o agree with Mrhitchy

[@kylekroeck8996]

Let’s go blues! We’ll get the cup one day. Basically the cubs of the NHL.

[@tylercunningham2733]

If you would’ve asked me who would be the only goalie to show up on this list twice never in my life would I or probably any other person who watched this have guessed Carter Hutton.

[@all-sabres2141]

thats my guy Hutton

[@seadav0183]

Clearly he is on a different plane of existence

I wouldn't say some of these are the most memorable, but they are certainly some really good saves.

[@veliahtanyt9954]

Missing some Kiprusoff's Scorpion save.

[@matt4455]

"Might lose some sleep over that one"

[@PatrickFussy]

So Tim Thomas’s game 7 stick save against Tampa in 2011 wasn’t quite good enough?

[@Shatamx]

Game 5 on Steve Downie.

[@Kayametra]

As someone working on reflex training for goaltending, the Caron, Vasi, and Pavelec saves are what I strive for. Those are unbelievable

[@jeffinglis7410]

Love seeing the Save of the Century in there. Not only are some of these savings incredible, but it was the magnitude of the moments they were made in.

[@goaliejoe5923]

For the rangers it should’ve been the penalty shot by pavel Bure in the 1994 cup final

[@angrytom1923]

1000%. It's crazy to me how they could get it so wrong there.

[@tentfergus6725]

I know I'm a Hawks fan, but every time I see that Mike Smith save, I swear its in.

[@ANe0nChicken]

Tent Fergus Cause it was in..

[@liammcintyre8970]

Arizona fan here but Mike Smith’s was definitely a goal. If you pause at 0:49 you could see it fully pass the line and even jam up against the post on the way out

[@PierLuc111]

To me , Nabokov's the greatest save of all time. ...I mean , all that during playoff overtime ? Insanity.

[@tylergodspeed82]

This list was put together by someone who started watching hockey in 2014 😆

[@rockerseven]

Which would explain why a Patrick Roy save wasn't the Avs' best, or why a Chris Osgood save wasn't the Wings' best lol

[@MikeSerota]

I was thinking something similar. I liked the save made by the Flyers goalie in this video but thought the save Boucher made on Elias back around the year 2000 in the playoffs I believe was even better.

[@letsgohawks7529]

I am amazed they picked that Holtby save over the OTHER one. We all know which one I'm talking about

[@skolblues]

4:22 good example of why Hahn is one of my fav play by play guys in the business. Other teams goalie makes an unreal stop and you wouldn’t even be able to tell who he wants to win

[@ericsclips2706]

Saves like these are the best things I've ever seen

[@brandonpatel3121]

For Montreal it should have been Jose Theodore and for Washington it should be Holtby in game 2

[@adrianstevens165]

MTL could have a bunch

[@luuck4235]

The St. Louis one could definitely be replaced by a lot of the saves from Binnington in game 7 of the 2019 finals

[@aaronk8371]

When this video was made it should have been Jake Allen's paddle save against Calgary.

[@Lakingsfan140]

Johnathan quick my favorite goalie of all time! He’s too exiting too watch

[@lukesweeney4205]

[@terrencesmith5431]

I think Fleury's double save against scheifele in WCF was better and more important

[@yxzyzzyx434]

Terrence Smith same

[@marekfrys8906]

This save saved the probably series for Knights, the were not better team in series against Sharks.

[@yxzyzzyx434]

Marek Fryš scheifele is on the jets...

[@marekfrys8906]

Yxzyzzyx Gaming aka Arbor the Leafeon yes but this was save on Couture in the video

[@yxzyzzyx434]

Marek Fryš the original comment was talking about the saves on scheifele though

[@cjmcc4447]

For the bruins I know he is not a goalie but it should have been that Michael Ryder save. Absolutely legendary.

[@wyomingptt]

The difficulty level wasn't as high but for the Penguins I'd have put Fleury's save against Lidström in the closing seconds of the 2009 Stanley Cup Finals. That Caron save is certainly impressive but this is supposed to be the most _memorable_ saves.

[@sockthesaduofastudent5096]

Thats a really good point, I agree. A lot if these were really nice saves, but I was expecting more playoff/coming in clutch type saves

[@leaf8554]

I veto the submission for Washington. “The Save” is truly the best save of all time for the Capitals.

[@jessicaalvarado3305]

Who else thought Mike Smith's went in?!🤨🤔

[@Smsrules1]

Damn that Nabokov save was nasty.

[@mccarthyryan14]

I'm surprised that Martin Brodeur's glove save from his stomach in Game 4 of the '03 ECF wasn't in the Devils' highlight. The Senators were up a goal and on the PP when Marty made that save. The Devils rolled the Sens from then on. Great game, great series.

[@nate4774]

[@TGerreGT]

Ryan Miller's dive from halfway to the bench was way better for Vancouver than this.

[@hellbound64]

Luongo's save on Brian Bickell in the playoffs vs the Hawks would have been my pick. That or his glove save on Ryan Smith vs the king's in the playoffs

[@TGerreGT]

Fair enough. I didn't really think about the cause and effect. But in the same time, in my opinion, this is exactly what makes Miller's save so memorable. It was basically garbage time, even if they pulled him trying to hold on, it were not really necessary, he just did it anyway. Of course a PO win is more like something to remember, but I'm not a Canuck fan, I'm happy with this. :-)

[@TikkerLoS]

nah McLean's save all the way

[@boland73]

TGerreGT I was SURE that’s what it was gonna be for the Canucks! They had to have just forgotten about that or something cause there’s no way McLean’s was better

[@boland73]

Chris L the importance of the save isn’t really relevant in this context, any save in a big moment is crucial but that doesn’t make it the best. Otherwise every save on this list would’ve been from the playoffs

So you just couldn't find any saves from Kipper? He was known for spectacular saves but no.. Also just one save from a Finn while in the last fifteen years Finns have played a major part in terms of goaltending in the NHL.

[@beneasler8868]

I guess they didn't want a goalie to represent multiple teams, but Fleury's '09 cup final save is easily the Penguin's most iconic and memorable save.
