Save!
August 14th, 2009
Two-on-one breakaway. I come out of my net to aggressively challenge the puck carrier. Big poke check! The puck ricochets into the corner …but I lose my stick. I grab it by the blade and scramble back towards my net. The offense has passed the puck out to a waiting player at the top of the slot. He pulls back for a shot. I slide in, stacking the pads. He releases the shot, and I reach up with my glove, nabbing it from the air as I’m sliding across the ice on my side!
Save!!! Yay!!! 😀
I demand evidence. At least some pictures, some video – with some supporting evidence truly proving it was you. Y’know, a driver’s license, today’s newspaper proving the date, and some other biometric data. That, and two witnesses. Then I’ll believe this…
Oh, if only I had video! I mean, I’ve got to have a highlight reel if the pros come calling, right? 🙂
