I guess it was CNN's Play of the Day, too.  In my opinion, it should be next
year's ESPY winner for hockey play of the year.  I didn't see it until the
10:00 news here, and I was on the phone when it was on, so I didn't hear the
story, but it was honestly the most innovative hockey play I've seen in my
18 years.
 
Unfortunately (for goalies, anyway), the whole hockey world is going to be
trying this move from now on.  Goalies have something else to look out for
on wrap-arounds now.
