The phrase is borrowed from the sport of ice hockey, but now applies in many contexts.
In hockey, a crude but effective save where the puck is diverted not with the end of the curved stick but with the handle. The player simply falls on the ice or bats at the puck with the stick. No points for style, and often fails, but a save is a save.
In other contexts, whenever a "player" manages to pull out a situational "save" at the last instant via reckless, feckless or random methods. As in financial markets, when institutions manage to move the market up in the last minutes of trading thus ensuring an "up" day, even though a "down" day was in the making.

Did you see the 100 point stick save in the run up to the market bell? You gotta give the PPT credit, that was a thing of beauty.

Get the save place mug.a super sweet girl, usually blonde. she’s quite when u first meet her but once you get close she’s crazzyyyy. soo pretty and thicc asf. she seems innocent but lowkey isn’t. savannah tried to act happy all the time but breaksdown really easily. if she tells you she’s there for you she’s not lying and when she really cares about someone she’ll do anything for them. Savannah is usually a girl who emotional and is scared to get hurt and show her feelings. her friends mean everything to her and losing them would wreck her world. if u have a savannah for a friend u should def keep her because she’s always gonna be down for u
savannah is so pretty
