RICHMOND, Va. -- In my research for this strip, I realized that there are several other astounding goalie plays that lay claim to the title of “The Save.” Braden Holtby’s grab to seal the Capitals’ win over the Golden Knights in Game 2 of the 2018 Stanley Cup Final being the recent example.
But I think any hockey expert would consider Frank Pietrangelo’s heroic grab in 1991 to be the genuine article and the true holder of the title. Like The Shot, The Catch, The Drive and The Fumble, there can be only one!
