Swedish goalie's strange save

Walt hasn't talked about hockey for awhile. Readers who follow the NHL, especially the Leafs and Canadiens, will understand why.

One of the reasons the Leafs aren't going to make the playoffs (you read it here last) is that their number one goaltender is a Swedish kid who sprawls, swims, flops and has a tendency to drop his stick in moments of crisis. They call him the Monster, but for the wrong reasons.

What is it, anyway, with these Swedish goalies and their tendency to dive for the puck as if they think it's lying at the bottom of a swimming pool? Here'a a funny video clip from Puck Daddy showing Johan Hedberg of the Atlanta Thrashers doing the ole floperoo, then having a little trouble figuring out where the rubber went. Enjoy.
