Bobrovsky first 31 games - .897 sv% 3.29 GAA

[Machinehead]

Can you tell me where you got these stats from

Corsica | Team Stats

Select the year, desired game state (5v5 or all are the best ones), and sort by sv%.

I haven't looked at each Cup winners GSAA yet, which might provide something different.

That said, I'm pretty sure Lundqvist and Bobrovsky have more goals saved since the lockout than the bottom 180 goalies put together and neither one of them has a ring.

 

[Machinehead]

What does that have to do with anything ?

We have better stats now than just looking at GAA.

 

[Caldercanucks]

It's 5 games, of course it's too freaking early. Why not create a thread about Rinne, Anderson, Dubnyk, Holtby, Mrazek, Quick as well then?

Actually they all are either overrated or past their best before date.

Lol you can skew the stats anyway you want. They are getting elite goaltending period. It’s a bad argument to say Lundqvist hasn’t won a cup therefore you don’t need elite goaltending. It would be like saying McDavid hasn’t won a cup therefore you don’t need an elite center.

I didn't skew anything. They are what they are.

Not a surprise. He seemed like the type to just mail it in after getting his money.

Forget who it was, but someone respectable on one of my podcasts visited him this summer and called him the hardest working player they've ever met. Obviously that's said about a lot of dudes, but still.

Dude was unreal against the Sabres but still ended up giving up 2 or 3 impossible to stop goals. D needs to be better imo, he saved every single chance that was savable.

ill gather some more stats later on today I have to get to work

This goalie criticism is getting out of hand. Of course the top of the position should be paid accordingly. Just like all the other positions.

That doesn't mean I have to do it.

 

[Machinehead]

Oh and since the Flyers came up as a team that can't find goaltending: they had Bobrovsky.

And they decided he wasn't as good as the guy they had.

It's a real dearth out there.

 

[Eisen]

True. But then the goalie goes to someone who does. Elite goalies are pretty rare these days.

 

[Necrobutcher]

It’s hilarious when people make things up

Make up things? Did i make up this goal:



There's two guys perfectly open in the middle of Matheson and Ekblad. Two goddamn guys. It's ludicrous. And that's just a one example.

 

[Tage2Tuch]

But the hockey guy on YouTube said buffalo was doomed because they didn’t throw 10.5 at him. Because it’s not no like theres a great prospect in waiting while another one is finding his ways and the last year of Hutton’s deal.

All jokes aside Bobs always is hot and cold. He reminds me of Steve mason in that respect but way wasaay bettter. Two vezinas better. Some goalies get like this Luongo comes to mind

Florida hasn’t ever been known for their defensive play since Doug McLean coaches then to the cup final in 96.

New team, it will take time. He’s a great goalie.

The line is quite blurred by team systems and quality of team as well. Many goalies are heavily protected by the above who are not elite and some may play for a poor team and never be granted 'elite' status.

Parity in the NHL is indeed a factor.

 

[Blade Runner]

He had a bad start one year ago, too.

 

[Madifer]

Im glad that he is struggling, I hope he crashes and burns. I hope he becomes another Bryzaster, too weird, too expensive, too unreliable as a goalie. That should be his price for leaving CBJ.

 

[Man Bear Pig]

There's nothing he can realistically do to earn that contract.

You hit the nail on the head here. He'd have to be a Vezina finalist every year for half a decade to justify the money. That's gonna be tough to do. Hes not Roy or Brodeur.

It seems a lot of goalies become slow starters once they hit there 30’s. I imagine it’s just because it becomes a lot more difficult to prepare for a season as you are constantly adjusting things as you get older.

It's hard to be a good goalie in Florida.

Someone tell him the playoffs are over

what a sample size ! just admit you don't watch the team instead of reaching for ridiculous ideas

 

[CBJx614]

Lots of hot takes in here lol. Panther's fans love this guy.

Give it 4-6 months and we'll see how they feel.

 

[Ratsreign]

It never ceases to be entertaining, so many people that don't let not knowing what they're talking about stop them from running their mouths.

 

[ShelbyZ]

If he starts talking about the universe then maybe a Bryzgalov 2.0 label might eventually be appropriate. Still early though.

Saddest thing in this thread is how much the silly "Osgood only won because of HOFers in front of him" narrative is getting tossed around.
