Swedish Goalie Makes Unreal Save After What Was Almost Huge Blunder

David St. Hubbins of Spinal Tap once uttered a phrase that I live my life by: "It's such a fine line between stupid and clever."

Now, thanks to a goalie in the Swedish Hockey League, I believe the line between being on a highlight reel and being on a blooper reel is even more fine.

That's because what ended as one of the most incredible saves I've ever seen was mere inches (or in Sweden, centimeters) from being one of the most embarrassing gaffes I've ever seen.

Gustaf Lindvall is a veteran netminder in the SHL and has been with Skelleftea AIK for nearly a decade. This is to say the man knows what goes into playing in a professional hockey game.

However, he had a thunderous brain fart on Wednesday against Frolunda HC.

What happened was at the other end of the ice there was a scramble in front of the Frolunda net that sent their goalie and a Skelleftea forward down to the ice.

Now, if you watch the video, everyone kind of slows down, but the play was never blown dead.

Our guy Gus Lindvall — like plenty of other people — thought the play was dead and started doing that goalie move where you skate to one corner and then the other between whistles.

Of course, play was still alive, and Frolunda fired a shot at the empty cage, only for Lindvall to make an unbelievable diving save to deflect the puck out of midair.

Are you kidding me?

Have you ever seen a sure-fire blooper turn into a highlight on a dime (or a Swedish 1-krona)?

Simply unbelievable, and probably the best save I've seen all year in any league.

Now, for the bad news: that incredible save was in a losing effort. Skelleftea lost to Frolunda 2-0.
