Saturday afternoon marked a cold and chilly day for the home crowd of Colorado…and not because of the below-freezing temperatures. Kevin Bieksa, of the Vancouver Canucks, denied a victory from the Colorado Avalanche with a spectacular diving save and a shifty shot…all within 15 seconds. With about 49.7 seconds on the clock of the 3rd period of a 2-1 game, Bieksa made a diving save to stop T.J. Galiardi’s back-hand shot from center line. With aboiut 34.7 seconds on the clock, Bieksa netted his 5th goal of the season on a wrist shot that tied the game at the end of regulation. The Canucks eventually won 1-0 on a shoot out. Check out the extra effort by Bieksa. Tweet

Byron Bitz' Debut
