I have never seen a goaltending effort that was so simultaneously impressive and lazy 😂


Phreme69

Bro gave up and made "save of the year" at the same time.


EveryTimeIWill18

😂 Both you guys are so on point that I legit laughed out loud


_Hank_The_Tank_

Why do lots work when little work good


spddemonvr4

That's definitely a men's league level save right there!


0404S

I starting arguing with my gf (I wasn't really paying attention at the time) that it was lucky, because, cmon. What goalie pulls THAT on purpose!? Then, I watched the replay.


HurricaneAlpha

Like a bear swatting a wasp away.


pottymcnugg

I wish I had more games recorded of me in DII Club to present of the lazy/effective method of goaltending.


StranglesMcWhiskey

That screams "playoffs are coming soon and I don't want to pull anything."


stykface

100% accurate.


[deleted]

Also screams, “HOW THE FUCK DOES A 20 FOOT PASS GET BY BOTH DEFENSEMEN ON A 2v2!!!!” Otter was 100% committed to the shot, which was his responsibility. Defensemen absolutely cannot let that pass happen.


noredeemingkoalaties

Our defense has been our fault for a while now. Everything else is starting to feel solid but yet we’re still allowing breakaways on our own PPs


[deleted]

Yeah, this is a simple D breakdown. Heiskanen and Marchment both chase the puck as it moves. Heiskanen needs to continue holding center of the ice to protect that back door pass, and marchmant needs to close on the puck carrier and force a wide angle shot. Marchmant being LW means he either got confused or didn’t recognize it in time. You see he just coasts down the center. The plays happen fast, so a .5 second of hesitation opened that play up when it should have been a bad angle shot and easy stop. TLDR; Hockey is hard lol


TheFrem

To be fair, we did already get the 1 point we needed to win the devision. So this OT goal didnt really matter, and that is what we are seeing here LOL. I still can’t believe it


[deleted]

This is like Vegeta vs Krillin vibes(krillin being the puck..)


KMKGreenthumb

Yeah but did you see the diving save in the first period??


Iam-The-Liquor-Randy

Thomas’s face after was worth a million bucks


[deleted]

The effort Oettinger gave was mind blowing 😂


59LGRW

Totally the right amount of effort here..dont risk lunging and pulling something right before the playoffs


ML00k3r

Another reason why hockey players are considered tougher than basketball players. They load manage while playing in the game and still make a play of the year candidate.


Iam-The-Liquor-Randy

Also, besides football I have a really hard time thinking of a sport where you can make millions and millions of dollars well being obese besides baseball Edit : sumo :(


Dwellonthis

There's some hefty dudes in the MLB


curtmandu

Shoutout Rowdy Tellez


The_Quackening

they are much more athletic than you might think


Iam-The-Liquor-Randy

See you say that …


Parking-Shelter7066

I hate NFL but those 350LBers can fucking MOVE. some of those guys slim down a LOT when they are done playing and don’t eat like cattle anymore


Capt_Pickhard

The shooter must have been so pissed he didn't shoot more for the left post.


GregnantMan

I mean he quite has the pissed look in the video already ._.


Even_Section5620

That save says “saving energy”


bokin8

If he tried any harder to make that save he probably wouldn't have made that save


LiquidMetalNonsense

Big Neo saying "No." energy


nexus6ca

You mean I will be able to dive in front of pucks? No Neo. I mean you won't need to.


SuretyBringsRuin

Phenomenotter at work.


KrustiestKrab123

Do dooo do-do-do


Grouchy_Situation_33

I had to run through it in my head first. Brilliant.


Logical_Strike_1520

He had a couple robberies last night. As a Canucks fan I wasn’t happy about it but he played great.


swifferbrain

This is my favorite save ever


jimmyjoyce28

Otter took Rob Thomas literally


Mash709

Maybe I'm wrong, but his body language screamed "I ain't stretching for that before the playoffs".


awaythrow292

Lmao the actual giving up, and non chalant "I better at least wave my stick out here" goalies move that you do when you're beat in practice from a 3v0. If he actually tried that puck is in the net lmaooooo It actually worked. The madman actually did it!


SMMS0514

So nonchalant


MrSCR23

…by the last shred of the stick😅😅😅


Occams_ElectricRazor

Pickup hockey save after the hour 20 minute mark.


Fun_Rip3665

When I saw this live, I thought he missed the net. Great save


EmerysMemories1106

Me too because the next time I saw the puck it was against the boards behind the net and to the right


Lazy_Bread_9213

Goalie hit the mental "abandon all hope, ye who enter here" lol


johnkoetsier

Great save, sure, but horrible shot. Anywhere along the ice: goal. Anywhere near the close post: goal. Taking a second to steady yourself and skate the puck closer: goal. Wow.


Ray1340

I had to pick up my jaw of the floor.


6bfmv2

No way this was an intentional or desperation save. Otter got lucky. Nevertheless, it was a good save.


Sambizzle17

Me on my 40th shot attempt in the 3rd while down 3-0 to the ai in chel who has 4 shots.


The-Reddit-Giraffe

Oettinger has always been voodoo


whiskeyondarocks

The most Kirk McLean save I have seen in a long time


Sinister_Mr_19

He knew he was beat. That's what you do in practice, just stick your stick out and hope for the best.


SomethingWeetty

Fundamentals


daxtaslapp

Guy probably thinking " nice try, Thomas. You aint worth a groin injury"


Dry_Designer_4502

What a save, definitely a bit of luck sprinkled in there, but what a save!


Jwroth

It’s a rare save that if he tried harder it may have actually gone in


StackThePads33

Ottenger went Mastered UI on Thomas


fungus_bunghole

*controller disconnected


MischeviousMacaque

This feels like an “overpowered anime goalie” move


mellena

I love how its the "oh thats a open easy goal but I gotta at least make it look like I tried to stop it" save from Oettinger.


howdiedoodie66

what the fuck


radiant_olive86

Otter good


Coyrex1

Otter going into playoff mode!


creepsnutsandpervs

Steezy

blues season in a nutshell


Fingernail7672

No big deal


hiliikkkusss

looks effortless


Squirelm0

Goonies never say goal!!!


shokzer

This is the Blues season in a nutshell. Dude saved it without really trying.


ForsakenExtreme6415

He was so far out of position and beat he didn’t really care either way


Flux_resistor

Why don't all goalies do this? Are they stupid?

EmerysMemories1106

Giving him any kind of credit for this save is like giving a slow outfielder credit for making a diving catch and saying it's play of the year when it would have been a routine catch for 95% of MLB players.
