However, the puck stayed in the air and appeared to be heading toward the back of the net.

So, Gibson did his best "Pistol Pete" impression and went behind-the-back with his glove to make the miraculous save.

The puck actually came out of the glove, but the refs blew it dead; and at the very least, the puck is better off in front of the net than in the back of it.

It wasn't all fun and games for Gibson, though, as he wound up leaving the game later on with a lower body injury.

Anaheim was coming off an impressive 6-2 victory over the reigning Western Conference champions, but their playoff hopes took a hit with the loss. Vancouver, too, is fighting for a playoff spot, and earned the much-needed win.
