Shut it down.
It’s over.
Let’s go home.

Yes, that’s Andrei Vasilevskiy, the front-runner for the Vezina Trophy this year, casually reaching around to get a glove on Anze Kopitar’s wrist shot into what looks like an open cage.
Nope.

It’s just so majestic.
The save is just bonkers, the front-runner for save of the year, and one that will likely take divine intervention to dethrone at this point.
Ay Caramba
