It takes one to know one.
Braden Holtby's stunning save that sealed Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Final was the biggest stop in Washington Capitals history to date.

But don't take our word for it, ask the goaltender for the last Capitals team to play in the Cup Final.
Olaf Kolzig, aka Olie the Goalie, the team's netminder when it last won the Eastern Conference Final in 1998, had high praise for Holtby's amazing stick stop on Vegas Golden Knights forward Alex Tuch.

Holtby lunged with his stick to deny Vegas Golden Knights forward Alex Tuch of the game-tying goal with 1:59 remaining in Washington's 3-2 victory that evened the Stanley Cup Final at 1-1.
"That's hockey," Holtby told Pierre McGuire of NBCSN after the game. "I think the breaks didn't go our way [in Game 1] with... an open net and some of those things, but if we keep doing things the right way and if you keep working hard as a team, those things will go good."
The save was so good, Capitals captain Alex Ovechkin could barely believe it while watching from the bench.

"He's over there when we need it. Save of the year for sure," Ovechkin said.
"I've seen a lot of those kind of saves before but with the magnitude of the situation and how strong he had to be on his paddle there, it was certainly the greatest one I've seen," Capitals forward John Calrson said.
Kolzig, the Capitals all-time leader in regulation wins, wasn't the only former Capitals player to tweet his amazement with Holtby's stop.
Peter Bondra, who led Washington with 52 goals and 78 points in 1998, also couldn't believe his eyes at the play.
