  1. Not sure if it’s gonna make steve dangle’s Dang it or hat pick šŸ¤”

  2. Every goalie is gonna be re stitching their gloves removing that mesh now šŸ˜‚ at least 50% of it so an angle won’t give that definitive puck over the line but brought to see if they have it smothered

  3. How is it a save if it’s a goal? I don’t care. You can’t ā€œsaveā€ a puck if it’s a goal.

  4. If his glove was tilted forwards 25° they wouldn't have been able to call it conclusively.

  5. Ugh that’s lame af. Regardless of what team your a fan of, that was a wild save. And probably was such a proud moment for Murray. Unreal effort and skill man !

  6. Roflmfao, this shows just how DaF leafblowers are, it is not a "spectacular save" if it is a goal. šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚

  7. they could only see the puck in the net through the mesh in the glove which is not enough to be able to show the entire puck so how can they rule the entire puck was over the line? There could easily be a tiny portion of the puck directly above the line in the glove that we cannot see because we cannot see the edge of the puck. The rule is supposed to be that the entire puck must be clearly seen behind the line or the glove clearly be so far in the net there can be no doubt. Here there is doubt.

  8. Not sure that was the correct call. The referee has to see the entire puck cross the entire red line before they can say it was a good goal. The angles shown in the video suggests that the puck might have crossed the goal line but it’s not conclusive. In my view, the correct call is no goal.

  9. So obviously there’s a lot of comments saying ā€œit was a goal so it’s not a saveā€ so just to try to explain it for context of the video title, it is relatively simple.

    The call on the ice was a save, hence the ā€œMurray’s spectacular saveā€ portion of the title, it was then reviewed and counted, which is the right call of course as the puck crossed the line, but that obviously wasn’t originally known.

    I’m not sure why so many people are calling out the title when it still states what happened. Obviously the end result was a goal, nobody needs to save ā€œwell then obviously it wasn’t a save thenā€ considering the context is pretty clear as to why it’s titled that lol

  10. You realize that he is moving "backwards" because he is so big, clumbsy, un-talented and wildly off-balance that he can't recover like a normal goaltender keeping his eyes and body facing the play as he moves to his right? You can see that can't you without my help??

  11. Campbell had the same save in LA but later was called a goal but still a great save in the 80’s

  12. Ok I may be old and blind which I and both lol but did he not make two incredible saves on that play?? Anyways what a save it should have counted as a save just for the fact that it was one of the best saves ever. Wow

  13. NHL will make a rule requiring mesh to be see-through. I said it first; it’s coming next year. As a panthers fan this save would have just been ridiculous, though. Glad the officials got the call right, pissed that we couldn’t play like the game mattered.

  14. Lesson to my fellow goalies… darker gear if possible – black mesh at minimum. If that catcher was black with black mesh you can bet it would have been deemed inconclusive.

    Just sayin..

  15. I wish the refs could just give the goaltenders the save of the year candidates even though it barely crosses the line.
