Besides looking neat, this move has very little practical application.

That presumes that you don't find a way to change it up the next time. It wouldn't be all that hard for a talented guy to pull his stick off the puck and find a way to elevate it or throw another twist in there. It didn't work this time, but it came pretty close, and it gives goalies something to think about going forward.
