Top 10 Stick Saves in NHL History

Plus, you just know if the goalie is having to block the puck with his stick he’s been beat pretty bad and it’s a desperation move. This video has some pretty classic nail biters. Enjoy:

Amazing concentration on every one of those saves. I think the Price one is the best though, spinning around over the head backwards – nothing but puck.

I’d like to add to that list…Brodeur fending off Kris Draper in the 95 Cup Final. No bigger stage for a save.
