Simeon Varlamov Save on Sidney Crosby

varlamov_save-1

Crosby's shot heads towards the open net.

Simeon Varlamov just made the save of the Playoffs (and the year for the Capitals) against Sidney Crosby. The play came towards the end of the second period of Game 1, on a spectacular passing play for the Penguins. As you can see by these still photos, essentially the entire net was empty, with the exception of Varlamov’s stick which made the save cleanly, with no replay needed. Additional stills and Video after the jump.

  1. 1. Crosby Robbed by Rookie Varlamov | Gunaxin Says:

    [...] Simeon Varlamov robbed Sidney Crosby for the save of the Playoffs this afternoon. The play, which came late in the 2nd period involved a nifty passing play for the Penguins, with one of the best players in the world ending up in front with an empty net. He shot the puck towards the yawning goal, and began to celebrate. There was only one problem, rookie goaltender Simeon Varlamov dove across with his stick and prevented the puck from crossing the line. Capitals Outsider has the video and more stills from this amazing save. [...]
