Capitals players, fans react to Holtby’s superb stick save to preserve Game 2

Braden Holtby can’t see your social media praise for his save.

“I try to disconnect myself from social media,” Holtby said. “We’re a group trying to win hockey games, and whoever has to step up to make plays, we’re all there as a team to support each other. … We have a goal in mind that will be a lot bigger than some save on social media.”

The ever-grounded goalie kept his composure in the aftermath of a stick save late in the third period of Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Final that fans and teammates were quick to praise as one of the best saves in hockey history.
