Oh, I’m all for them putting Bob back in. The dude is gassed and if we can use the the side to side we’ll have him dead to rights. Especially if we decide to go with a fresh Raanta. 

Fingers crossed! 
 

Talking of gassed, I’ll be in bed by 8.30. These late starting games suck even without the OT

Pucks up high, Bob flops down on almost every shot, and we light him up.

Easy to say, hard to do. He has great control over his glove and blocker and displayed that a ton last night.

You beat Bob with cross crease passing, deflections and rebound opportunities when he's scrambling. Make the extra pass and get to the dirty areas. Only way you're gonna consistently score.

Tomorrow night is essentially for the series btw. If we can't get by them at home, we MIGHT steal one on the road but then winning the rest of the way is certainly a prayer.

Bob does have a good glove but he goes low too often. We kept trying to shove pucks under him when we should have gone high, the analysts noted the same thing. We barely missed several pucks hitting the bar when Bobs glove was a foot away- keep that up and we win. Of course cross crease passes are a way to beat any goalie, that’s a no brainer. Be ready for rebounds but don’t count on them to win that’s what bob was best at, preventing rebounds.  Bobs not the superstar every game and we can open him up.

Against the Bruins Bob was lit up for 6 goals in game 4 and 5 goals in game 6, so he’s not unbreakable. He played his best against the Leafs limiting to 2 goals a game and the Panthers defense played a part in that.

It is this more than anything. We could not maintain a net front presence in game 1, it’s why we didn’t have many high danger shots. This makes Bob look unbeatable, he is not. I expect Rod to make some adjustments.

This makes me think we are going back to Freddie. Raanta going in cold would be a curious decision. 

 

I think Brindy makes that call by dinner. If Freddie is good to go and says he feels great, no issues, he's the hot hand. If there's any doubt, you go to Raanta and give him until Monday.

 

Absolutely not skating is the call though. Save the legs. I'm sure they probably met up and went over poo dry which is fine given how game 1 went.

I am going to put it to people this way regarding Bobrovsky. I'm a goalie guy. I love good goalies. I am decently well-informed guy who came into the game as a teen and didn't touch ice with a stick until my mid twenties.

 

Bobrovsky is nothing less than elite. By the third period tonight, I'll expect for some "ok his blocker is really goddamn good" posts in here because the disrespect of Bob is just blowing my mind.

Butterfly goalies drop. By design, this opens the shelf. It's a style of play to force you to go high, where they can then focus as their pads eliminate the lower portion of the net. Much in the way a defensemen takes away the pass on odd man rushes so the goalie can focus on the shot.

It's way harder to get precise lift than to keep it low and hard. Hence why so many shots sail over the net or hit the crossbar.

      Post- Training Camp 53-Man Roster Projection

      By Seltzer · Posted

      By all indications, the surgery was "minor." I know with all surgeries and especially back surgery there can be complications, but I think the whole time Tremble did this with the expectation he would be able to be back for Week 1 It sounds like he will be ready to start back in team drills next week. He's a veteran who knows the system so I'm sure that helps. I still can't imagine he will play a normal workload early on though

      Maybe. He was pretty good in college before a bad injury. He had a good preseason last year as a UDFA in Washington and was on their practice squad all year so they obviously saw something worth developing. He signed a futures deal with the Panthers earlier this year, and everything about him has been increasingly positive. Tremayne has gotten a decent amount of time with the ones, and a lot with the twos for someone that doesn't have a chance. He's the only other 6'4" plus WR on the team, plays ST, and is a more natural backup to the X receiver position than David Moore. That was my thinking behind it. But he may well end up as one of the last roster cuts. If so, I do hope they can bring him back to the PS. But I personally think there's a good chance he could be claimed given his ST ability and what hes shown at WR.

      That was my thought originally, but so many of the beat writers have mentioned keeping 7 WRs in conversations that I went with that, at least for the purposes of this projection. But you're right that historically defensive guys who were standouts at ST have tradionally gotten those last spots
