AHL goalie Mercer makes eye-popping, backhanded glove save for Iowa Wild

Be on the lookout for a masked man in an Iowa Wild jersey because he is probably going to be wanted for a robbery.

Goalie Riley Mercer of the AHL's Iowa Wild made what could be argued as the most ridiculous save in the history of the planet.

Watch it as many times as you like. Our personal view count has already surpassed 500:

Mercer, a 22-year-old prospect in the Minnesota Wild system, somehow made the glove save behind his back to keep a game against the Manitoba Moose 2-2 in the shootout on Friday. The Wild would eventually win 3-2.

And this wasn't one of those wave-the-arm-behind-you-back-and-get-lucky-to-catch-a-piece-of-the-puck-and-bat-it-away type saves.

Mercer did a full backward spin and caught the shot right in the netting of his glove.

The save, needless to say, is absolutely burning up social media with hockey fans reacting much the way the Iowa Wild bench did after the incredible denial.

Credit to Moose forward Danny Zhilkin, who made an pretty sick  move to gain himself an open net, only to be the victim of an insanely good save.
