I'm glad the announcers gave a nod to Denis Savard....the man who made that move famous, at least in my generation of watching.

Whenever we are on the ice and make that move, it's mandatory to yell out Denis Savard Spinorama!

Wow...that's unreal...and 'Hands as soft...as butter'!!!

Ex-Oilers (now L.A. Kings), Goalie Makes Save of the Year!!!

Story by Caleb Kerney - MSN -8 Mar 24

[...] Elsewhere in the NHL, the Los Angeles Kings picked up two points against the Ottawa Senators with a 4-3 overtime victory. One of the biggest reasons for that win was the play of former Oilers goaltender Cam Talbot.

Talbot made 28 saves on 31 shots on the night. None more impressive than this absolute game saver.

That save came at a key moment for the Kings - they were already down 1-0 with under seven minutes left in the second period. If the Senators score that goal, the rest of the game potentially plays out differently.
