Florida Panthers goalie makes a beautiful glove save ... but it’s ruled a goal anyway

As the seconds ticked down in overtime early Thursday morning, Connor McDavid broke loose and charged toward Florida goalie James Reimer, sticking a backhanded shot into the goalie's glove.

Reimer's glove wasn't as quick as McDavid's shot, however.

Although the Florida goalie snapped up the puck in his glove, it was ruled a goal both by officials on the ice and following video review.

Reimer's glove was wedged inside the goal cage and across the goal line; thereby, it was a goal for Edmonton which resulted in a 4-3 overtime win over the Panthers.

“I don't think any goalie would agree with that call,” Reimer told reporters postgame following Florida's first game at Edmonton's new downtown arena.
