Twitter reacts to Holtby's unbelievable stick save
Washington Capitals goaltender Braden Holtby may have pulled off the save of the year at the most critical time.
With the Capitals holding onto a narrow 3-2 lead, Vegas Golden Knights winger Alex Tuch appeared certain to tie the game up in the final stages, but Holtby had other ideas, getting his stick on the puck to preserve the lead.
The hockey world was expectedly in awe of the save.
Greatest save I've ever seen!

The slump that Braden Holtby was in that caused the Caps to start the playoffs with Philipp Grubauer…yeah, I think he’s out of the slump.
