Nobody ever forgets about this save especially Washington Capitals fans.
It was a save that not only saved the game for the Washington Capitals but tipped the momentum on their side for the rest of the series. It’s the kind of save that makes a statue go up outside of an arena someday in the future. It’s a save so picturesque, many fans already have it proudly hung in their houses.
The Caps were coming off a 6-4 loss in Game 1 and were looking to even up the series in Game 2 before heading back to D.
