This is from Mike Hayes at BuzzFeed, and one would be inclined to call this one of the great saves in the history of the NHL. Problem is, it’s not really a save. That puck is going into the net, and then suddenly changes its mind and scoots wide. The shooter, Jearome Iginla, is renowned for not being a superstitious player. That might have changed since last night.

Looked like a curveball that clearly would’ve buckled Pedro Cerrano.
That… is one magic lougie…
looks like the puck went off the back of his leg pad which made the puck skip and it landed on its edge and rolled to the side. if you look closely you can see it. lucky yes. but its because he got a piece of it, so in my book its a save
thats not really that special, the puck hits the goalie, deflects down, and then bounces off the ice. The change of direction you see is when the puck hits the ice.
STFU brian.
Bouncing puck probably just hit a rut in the ice, that or gremlins.
apparently you’re not a golfer…
a hockey puck is a round, flat disk of rubber. Thus, unlike a spherical ball in let’s say baseball, it can change direction when bouncing. The goalie gets a piece of it, sending it downward with great velocity, the edge nearest the goal strikes the ice first, causing force moving opposite the direction of the goal, countering momentum and resulting in what you see in the video.
It’s called physics and it is a class which was probably offered at the same time as the basket weaving course you took before dropping out of college because “journalism was too hard…”

Whoops.
Back, and to the left.
I’m in the math club. AND the fythics club… physics club.
