A diving, barehanded goal line save!
Joonas Korpisalo might have just made the save of the season, and honestly, it's going to take something pretty special to top this one.
During this evening's game against the Calgary Flames, the New York Rangers goaltender came up with an absolutely ridiculous stop to rob young defenseman Zayne Parekh of what looked like a sure goal.
Parekh put on a show before getting his shot off, dancing around what felt like half the Rangers lineup and making multiple defenders look absolutely silly in the process. But just when it looked like he was about to cap off an incredible individual effort with a highlight-reel goal, Korpisalo had other ideas.
The Rangers netminder launched himself across the crease and somehow managed to get his bare hand in front of the puck, making a diving blocker-side save without even having his blocker on it!
Seriously, it's one of those saves that you have to watch a few times just to figure out how he managed to pull it off.
Check it out:
Korpisalo has certainly had his share of ups and downs throughout his NHL career, but he'll be hard-pressed to make a better save than this one. Parekh did just about everything right on the play, but unfortunately for the Flames rookie, Korpisalo wasn't about to let him have his moment.
Call it the save of the season, the save of the year, or whatever you want. This was absolutely ridiculous!
