People don’t care about the hockey, so we occasionally attempt to drum up interest in the sport. The NHL still creates some of the most jaw-dropping highlights around. Except they don’t have a TV deal with ESPN and, as a result, get zero coverage.
This highlight comes our way thanks to Ryan Miller. It may be news to you that Mr. Miller may very well be Team USA’s #1 goalie in the Olympics in a couple months. In this clip, he proves exactly why he’s under consideration. First, he makes a key save on a shot from a bad angle. Miller is hugging the post and the rebound kicks out into the slot off of his leg pads or stick. Then the American goalie makes an all-out post-to-post dive to deny a rebound chance by Rod Brind’Amour. The ageless Brind’Amour thought he was shooting on an empty net until Miller shuts the door with his glove. Hopefully Miller saves some of his magic for Vancouver 2010.
