Save of the Season? Sabres goalie Reimer gets knocked to ice, makes wild glove save 

As a goalie sometimes you are going to get knocked down. But that's no excuse for not keeping the puck out of the net. Just ask James Reimer.

The Buffalo Sabres goalie hit the ice after teammate Rasmus Dahlin accidentally took out his leg in the course of defending during a game against the Winnipeg Jets on Sunday.

Reimer was still on the ice, turning to his side to try and keep his body in the crease to the best of his ability.

That's when the puck made its way around to Jets forward Nino Niederreiter, who saw a goalie on the ice and did what you should, immediately shoot the puck.

Reimer, however, had other plans, staying in his side plank and windmilling his glove up to catch the shot attempt like he drew it up that way.
