Ben Bishop giveth, and Ben Bishop taketh away.

That was the lesson learned for Buffalo Sabres forward Kyle Okposo on Thursday night. Okposo likely thought he had a sure goal when the Lightning goaltender mistakenly passed the puck right to him from behind the net. With a wide-open net to shoot on, Okposo fired away.

Unfortunately for Okposo, Bishop is a large man (he stands at 6-foot-7) and he used that long frame to extend and rob the Sabres forward with an awesome diving glove save. If you're going to commit an atrocious turnover, it's always a good idea to bail yourself out with an amazing highlight reel play.

This is the second great diving glove save in as many weeks, as Ryan Miller successfully pulled off a wild robbery on an empty-net attempt from mid-ice.
