toughness

38 — Consecutive saves by goaltender Miikka Kiprusoff after allowing a goal on the first shot he faced.

Can you imagine? Allowing a goal on the first shot of the game - shaking it off - and then playing amazingly? As far as I am concerned what is admirable about certain athletes is less there super impressive physical abilities and more their unbelievable mental abilities.

Go Flames Go!

(And also Go Pens Go!)
