Flames goalie Jon Gillies makes amazing behind the back save (VIDEO)

Wow.

Jon Gillies won’t be on the Calgary Flames’ opening night roster, but maybe he should be.

With saves like this, you could make the case.

But Gillies had other ideas, making a desperation swipe at the puck behind his back.

It’s the best save you’ll see all year.

Here’s another angle:
