Thatcher Demko makes awesome diving save vs. Vermont (Video)

Along with having a name like a Madison Ave. ad agency or a chain of auto repair shops, Thatcher Demko is a pretty darn good goalie.

The California native and Vancouver Canucks draft pick has been stellar for Boston College this season, and pulled off another highlight reel stop the Hockey East tournament on Sunday.

Vermont worked the puck in the BC zone, eventually setting up for a one-timer to the left of Demko, with Mike Stenerson staring at a wide-open net.

Instead, it was Demko making the save, diving back across with his glove for some absolute thievery.

Here’s another look:

The save was a bonus highlight on SportsCenter's top 10. That's right: ESPN's SportsCenter!

Alas, Demko his darnedest but it wasn’t enough, as Vermont won Game 3 of their quarterfinal series, 1-0, to advance. Boston College will have to see how the rest of the NCAA conference tournaments shake out before knowing if they’ll have earned an at-large bid to the big dance.
