Does anyone else get anxious when goaltenders leave their crease? Seriously, goaltenders across the globe must be giving people heart attacks whenever they leave the blue paint unattended.
Chad Johnson dives back to save sure-fire Tampa Bay goal
Stop. Leaving. The. Crease.

This plan almost backfired for Buffalo Sabre goaltender Chad Johnson, who barely made it back in time to dive across his goal crease for a save. After making a save, Johnson recovers slowly from outside of the paint, unaware that the puck was recaptured by the Maple Leafs. Defenseman Carlo Colaiacovo slows the play down with a stick check just long enough for Johnson to dive over and cover the gaping net.
