I remember, at 7 years old, watching that game in my grandparents' living room. That and Kunitz's double OT winner (which I saw in person) will always be burned into my brain
As a Chicago Blackhawks fan, I'd like to say one of the saves by our goaltenders is the greatest of all time. However, with the situation at the time, to me the greatest save of all time has to be Fleury's save against Detroit with a one goal lead and seconds to go in Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Finals to win the Cup is easily the GOAT save in the NHL!!!!
Theres a very high amount of luck in these saves lol. Yes they're very incredibly skilled saves but almost all of the paddle saves in front of an open net are 90% luck.
As a goalie, yeah, it’s all intuition lowkey. Like how on the ones where they flick the pillows up just slightly because he thinks that they’re going to shoot higher, that’s luck/intuition.
As a goalie, my favorite save was from a playoff series between Minnesota and St. Louis probably 5-8 years ago. It was back when Allen and Elliot were both on the team still and I think Allen was the goalie. The Wild had a 2 on 1 and when they shot it Allen didn’t even move. He just calmly caught the puck. He knew where it was going and was so locked in he didn’t even flinch when the shot came. It wasn’t flashy but it just showed a goalie who was just at the absolutely most elite level they could be. It was one of the most impressive saves I have ever seen but it’s never really in highlights like this because it just isn’t flashy.
@@dannydevito2989 Marchand had a breakaway with one second left in game 5 and Bobrovsky stopped it, Florida then won game 5, 4-3 in overtime. Florida would win game 6 and game 7 to win the series. Florida won game 6, 7-5 and Florida won game 7, 4-3 in overtime
@@finnburke2709 Yeah as a Panthers fan that’s awesome, but still Toronto can come back! So let’s hope that the Panthers can finish off Toronto and not let that happen!
And if they get swept, Steve Dangle is taking a complete 180° (not to mention how Toronto lost both games despite outshooting Florida in each game. And the goalie who also took down another 60-win team? Sergei “President Killer” Bobrovsky)
@@DeltaHighlights I just want to say, I'm so f*cking tired of "Best of all time" clips not including anything earlier than..let's say 2005 or so.

But finding clips of some of them will be near impossible, and again, I can't fault you for having difficulty finding clips of them, but I do hope in your research you learn more about our awesome sport. Also, I'm specifically excluding some from before ~1950, because clips of them are gonna be pretty much impossible. Though, going with that time frame, Georges Vezina(for obvious reasons).
I think CuJo was the first goaltender to always give it his all all the time. He had a really robust skill set that allowed him to make some insane saves that other goalies would have given up on. After CuJo you start seeing more of these types of goalies who give it 110% all the time, like Brodeur, Fleury and Price, but these goalies for the most part had stacked teams that gave them room to breath. CuJo kept that Edmonton team alive so often.
Dominik Hasek is by far the best goaltender the NHL has ever seen. He was so incredibly dominant during his time in the league and what's even more insane is he became a starter at 29 years old.
Roy and Brodeur were better, just to name 2! Hasek was lucky they didn't learn to lift the puck off the ice. He was incredible, but by no means the best. And how was he allowed to always throw his stick away when making those flopping saves? Should of been penalties on many of those, but people thought it was cool, cause he was only one doing it, so it was allowed. Dropping your stick to grab a puck is one thing, but throwing your stick so you can make a save you probably couldn't with stick in hand, should of been a penalty. Oh well, it looked cool I guess, when he flopped around and got lucky. Only goalie luckier in the NHL has the garbage Grant Fuhr, he was so overrated it's not even funny. He would stand there and a puck would hit his glove and his cocaine reflexes would kick in and he would swing his arm like a mad man and people would think he made a crazy save, when the dude shot it in his glove lol
Never played hockey in my life, but did play it in gym class, and I once made an unreal parry with my stick to deflect it over the goal. I was so hyped. I can only imagine how those gks feel after a good save
Great video. Rogie Vachon had a truly spectacular and ultra-clutch save for Canada in a (late 1970s-early 80s?) international tournament. Esposito and Orr played in it too. Championship game. Overtime against the Czechs, Rogie glove saved a 20-30 foot slap shot to his left at point blank range. The Czech player put his hand to his head in disbelief. I couldn’t believe it either. Canada went on to win. Thanks to Vachon.
These are just a few examples of the many amazing saves that have occurred in NHL history. Each save demonstrates the athleticism, skill, and determination of the goaltenders who made them, leaving a lasting impression on fans and fellow players alike.
If it's boucher in net instead of Leighton (cause injuries) that 2010 cup might have been ours...let that soft ass goal in for kane after such an immaculate run that year
How he let some of the audio stay over the start of the next save was a nice touch. I always hated it when they would cut the video and audio a second or two before the announcer finished his thought.
It’s amazing how much net you could see behind the goalies up to the early 90s. They had to rely so much on athleticism and baiting shooters with what they take away vs what they give up. Then you got guys like Hasek just flopping and flailing around the crease but with elite skill and acrobat precision.
Won’t be long before Oettinger will be on a montage like this before that stud of a goalies career is over. He has loads of star quality and as a Blackhawks fan he’s gonna be a thorn in our side for years to come
Such a great win for the blues! Kyrou is certainly loved in St. Louis if by no one else by me. I saw him in Nashville when we scored 7 goals in a period and I saw Kyrou for the first time and he scored and I was like 'woah... that kid is good'. Fast forward a couple years and I bought his jersey. I am repping Kyrou and always will as long as he is a Blue!
2009 Stanley Cup Finals Game 7. The young Pittsburgh Penguins getting a rare second chance against the Titan Detroit Red Wings in the Finals. This time, Pittsburgh won the series and got their revenge. Marc Andre Fleury sealed the victory with one of the best saves ever against one of the best defensemen’s ever. History making save right there.
I'm glad fleury's cup winning save made it in this reel. It's shocking to look back on it and see there were only 2 seconds on the clock because at the time it felt like forever watching that play
I remember watching the 2012 playoffs very intently, especially since my boys made it to the Finals against the Kings. At the time, that Bryzgalov save on Letang was probably the best save I'd ever seen in the postseason. Then, Brodeur made that scorpion save on Gaborik and a diving stop on Staal in a prior game that wasn't featured here. That diving stop is the greatest save I've ever seen in a game I was watching.
Hasek on his own has at least one unbelievable save in each team he's ever played with and that will survive through time! For his size and weight, what he could do still amaze me! In modern era, my favorite is Quick triple save on the same play...it's just sick! Wow! One of the least incredible saves here is from Fleury. Has it been a season game instead of a Stanley Cup, no need to put it here. I mean, you can't compare that to Holtby's save in game 2 of the Finals? Still pretty awsome compilation overall! A toast to the Keepers!! Cheers!
My jaw dropped when Adin Hill made that impossible stick save against Florida last year. His momentum was going away from the net and he still managed to stretch back and stop the puck with the face of the stick. Probably the best save I've ever seen, and I'm not even a VGK fan.
I do love the amount of CuJo in this video, but Price’s save on Ovechkin will go down as the best save of the century. It has to. Price had absolutely no time to react and somehow he did
Not even a hockey fan, not even interested, but this shit is so hype. Holy hell, soooooo cool. I feel like this is one of, if not, the most difficult sport to be good at.
As a Pens fan, that Game 7 Stanley Cup save from Fleury against Detroit will always give me chills.
4:16 helped them get their first cup.

Bobrovsky’s Game 5 save vs. BOS this season; not only did this save keep Florida’s season alive, they would win the next 3 games and win the series
