I prefer Lu's save as well and for me it's the timing factor that plays into. In Thomas' save you don't see beauchemin until the last second but when you did, you expected the puck to go in and there was definitely a wow factor when he saved it but it all happened so quickly.

For Lu's toe save, you could see the play develop - the puck was on Kopecky's stick and you could see lu down and the top half of the net exposed so in comparison you had a lot of time to think 'oh fuck, there it is' but then out of nowhere he kicks up his right skate and so at this point you're like 'holy shit' cause you were positive the puck the was going in. It's that extra time of anticipation that makes the save better for me.
