Rittich jokes about best save in win over Maple Leafs: ‘Ask my groin’

David Rittich might be the first player in NHL history to redirect a question to his nether regions.

When asked if there was a save that stood out as his best one in a victory over the Toronto Maple Leafs on Thursday night, the Calgary Flames goaltender went below the belt.

Rittich stopped 35 of the 36 shots he faced in a 2-1 shootout win, including several saves of the highlight-reel variety.

The 27-year-old netminder, who's earned the nickname "Big Save Dave," will replace injured Arizona Coyotes goalie Darcy Kuemper in the upcoming All-Star Game.
