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.

There’s also a difference between an elite goalie and a goalie on a heater. Unfortunately for us, Bob is both right now.

I don’t know why but thinking about this game I am getting a similar nervous feeling I got right before Super Bowl 50. 
Please let that feeling be wrong. 

I have the same anxious feelings but they will pass.

Good description of Bobs style of play.

No one argues that Bob isn’t an excellent goalie. Elite he’s not. Look at his regular season stats for this season.

Makes sense, definitely spell Stepan it at all possible. 

This gives me hope for something that resembles the best lineup I’ve seen out there, the game 4& 5 lineups that beat the devils. Would rather we let Turbo have more time to get back up to par with more practices, and depending on how Freddie is feeling play Raanta if needed. 

Here’s the lineups we had for May 9 and 11 that ended the devils season:

I think Stastny comes out. If I’m not mistaken he didn’t record a single shot last game and there was a point in the first overtime that he had goose eggs across the board… didn’t even have a hit.

Who has even practiced at center that would replace him?

Both Drury and Stepan are natural centers that can play wing.

That’s good to know, but I would think they would want to practice with them at the center position on a line they would play with. Haven’t heard of that happening but not sure.

      Monroe Freeling’s lovely GF

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Jeremy Fowler: Panthers draft day intel

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
