Post-Game Talk: 1 May 2021 -- May Day Edition | Cats @ Hawks 8pm EDT

[RogerRoger]

Driedger has a 0.881 sv% in the last month and a 0.879 (with a 3.14 GAA) vs Tampa and Carolina. He has been no better than Bob recently or in games against good teams this season

Maybe he was battling an injury, we'll see how it goes the rest of the way.

Neither are looking good vs Tampa; Bob, .854 3.79GAA // Driedger .860, 3.48 GAA

 

[Stanley Cup Boundd]

Imagine this team if you remove Yandle and put Ekblad in his place!

 

[RogerRoger]

And how are we getting rid of that contract?

Maybe he really misses Russia and wants to win a Gagarin Cup

I reiterate that the goal totals are reflective of the defense not the goalie. Knight, Driedger, or Bob we are getting the same results lately

Bob is so, so far behind Dreidger in terms of stats this season. Judge has been hurt lately and going through a cold spell but overall has been the much more reliable goaltender, I think that’s obvious.

Full interview

 

[zeroG]

Talking just about tonight’s game, I don’t know how anyone can blame goals 2, 3, 4 on Bob. But some people do blame him for all of them. Honestly, I find that really weird, like some people won’t even look at the goal, if it goes in while Bob is in net, he’s automatically to blame.

opinions are like ... oh shit, how does that saying go?

 

[sinDer]

To win the series against Tampa, our goalie will need to outplay Vasi.

I want to believe...but I don’t see it happening.

Wonder if Ek is out of the cast yet? How long has it been?

It’s happened before...

Barkov talking about Forsling - "We came up with a new nickname for him, Bobby Orrsling

 

[floridada]

Barkov just said Forsling's new nickname is "Bobby Orrsling".

Barkov talking about Forsling - "We came up with a new nickname for him, Bobby Orrsling

That’s awesome.

ETA: what’s Barky then, Gretzkov?

 

[FlaPanthers11]

Driedger has allowed at least 3 goals in 6 out of 7 games vs Tampa and Carolina. Bob has similar numbers because it is a team defense issue not a goaltending issue. We should not be making playoff goaltending decisions because Driedger played well vs CBJ/DET/NSH/DAL in February

LMAO....ok, pump the brakes boys

[Chaos2k7]

Q didn't have the stone to play the better goalie last year in the play in. I won't hold my breath that he will this time around.

Judge had 10 career starts.

 

[PSLguy]

[Chaos2k7]

I love the posters saying they have just now given up on Bob when anyone can review posts from the start of this season.

Just now huh?

Thus insert

 

[WaitingForThatCab]

I didn't think Bob was 'bad' tonight, despite the 4 goals. On the middle two of them I would say he really had no chance. One was a terrible play from the guys in front of them, the other was just a total f***ing fluke play on a weird bounce.

Can't really blame him for the fourth one, either. Gotta cover that guy.

 

[Mase]

As far as I'm concerned, what ever Forsling wants, give it to him.

Nuti and Montour played ok tonight. When Ek gets back you'll have a problem, but it'll be a great problem to have.

Nuti has come on really strong lately. Seattle is gonna get a quality D.

 

[Mase]

Gustav Soarsling?

 

[Chaos2k7]

We play well for long stretches then give up head scratching mistakes/chances.

Its not ALL on the goalies. Bob still has another level to get to though.

Not worried about losing him at all, honestly. But he has played well with Monty
