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].
