he wants that back I'm sure and I don't want to excuse it but watch the replay and monty's response - he knew he made that difficult for his goalie. he threw his head back and immediately skated over to bob.
deflating for sure at that point but the team did a good job continuing to push after that and easily could have come back with a bounce or two.
I can't believe people are blaming bob, though. he had no chance on either of the first two. I don't even see how you can argue that.
I think the blame Bob theme comes from his tendencies over time that everyone has observed. He’s a top paid goalie, but:
- Goals in the first 5 shots.
- Softie at some point in the game.
- Turnover from playing the puck behind the net.
Of course, he makes up for it by making miraculous saves routinely. And he brought it in the playoffs without the problems I mentioned.
So even if he wasn’t to blame yesterday or for any given game, I take the complaining as a general “oh no not again” sentiment. So I get it.
