Save by Richter!

Boy, I get chills watching some of these videos again.

The Scene: Game 4, 1994 Stanley Cup Finals
The Teams: New York Rangers vs. Vancouver Canucks
The Players: Mike Richter, Pavel Bure

In a tight game, young superstar Pavel Bure is tripped on a breakaway by Brian Leetch of the Rangers. Bure is then given a penalty shot. What follows is one of -- if not the -- best hockey saves EVAR. Richter does his best imitation of Gumby to keep that puck out of the net, and send the Rangers to their first Stanley Cup victory in 54 years.
