Twitter goes bonkers over Vasilevskiy's behind-the-back glove save
It's hard to put into words just how great a save it was, but that didn't stop many on social media from trying.
The save in question is this behind-the-back glove stop from Tampa Bay's Andrei Vasilevskiy off the stick of Los Angeles' Anze Kopitar.
GRAND. THEFT. ANDREI.

Standing ovation for Andrei Vasilevskiy, who made a stunning behind the back glove save on Kopitar. As @PierreVLeBrun would say, "Holy Mama." #tblightning

Vasilevskiy with some backhanded glove robbery on Kopitar on that PP. I can't remember seeing a glove save like that. Wow ... Kopitar looked to the sky after that one

The amazing thing about watching saves like the one Vasilevskiy made earlier is that there was probably no thought process. That was just pure instinct. And it was so much fun to watch.

This is the save that every kid that wears pads for even a few minutes in their childhood dreams of making. Unbelievable https://t.co/dgMqQyxXUg
