Great game tonight. I think the next round should be pretty damn good.

You need to elevate that. He basically shot it right into Quick's glove. Credit to Quick for getting over there, but that's all Pavelski.

While I don't disagree, good goalies have a knack for getting in the way when it doesn't look like they are even close. He would've had a better shot at it if he'd elevated it for sure, but it didn't really look like Quick should've even been in the area to get his glove back to it.
So, is it the greatest save in the history of the NHL? Of course not. But it's still a damn good save, especially given the timing.
