He is .896 after 44 games. I doubt one game had much of an effect.He's been a lot better actually. The Vegas game ruined his stats.

Another of his better games last night huh?
It does when you give up 6 goals, genius.
How much did his stats suffer from that game?
He'd be around .900 which is perfectly acceptable for a 10 million goalie!How much did his stats suffer from that game?
Actually if we remove that game from his stats his sv% goes up by 0.0023 so you're pretty massively overestimating the impact of that one game.His gaa went up by 0.20 ga and his sv% went down by .005
False. His GAA went up 0.09 and his SV% went down .0025.His gaa went up by 0.20 ga and his sv% went down by .005
His biggest problem this season, imo, is he gives up too many rebounds when he could have just smothered the puck. Then the D never seems positioned well enough and the pucks wind up in the net. I think that's the biggest reason Driedger has done better, he just swallows up shots and puts a halt to any chaos before it begins.

The goal to JVR and NAK last night are perfect examples of this. The JVR goal hits Bob right in the chest and then just lays there for JVR to pound home. Bob looked like he thought he had it covered and just for a split second and by the time he reacted it was too late. The NAK goal was even worse, it was a routine wrister off the rush that again hit him in the chest and a juicy rebound bounced out for NAK. If a goalie is going to give up a rebound he's got to be able to control it so it's either directed away from the net so the rebound shot is from a worse angle or it's got to at the very least be in a spot where he has an opportunity to make the next say. One shot came from his left and the other from his right and both of them ended up sitting right out on the top of his crease for slam dunk goals. The Pitlick goal was the worse of the bunch. Allowing a 3rd liner to pick a corner from a bad angle is just terrible.His biggest problem this season, imo, is he gives up too many rebounds when he could have just smothered the puck.

It's both really. As you mentioned in your other comment, Bob can't control rebounds for shit and the defense can't clear rebounds for shit either.Bob

Guys, it's not Bob's fault, it's the defense. Sure, the team is significantly better when they have two minor leaguers behind the pipes but hey, there's an excuse built in there somewhere.
He literally just made them up. They're nowhere near accurate.Are you sure about those numbers? Seem high to me.
I wonder, was he just "spoiled" from having the BJs responsible defense in front of him, or, it almost seems as if he's been coached to keep the puck moving and avoid d-zone faceoffs. There's been shots this year that could've easily been smothered and he'll just kick it out into the danger (dangerous for FL's D) zone. When he was playing better (after watching Driedger for a couple of games) he was freezing the puck more instead just letting everything bounce off of him. Now he's back to giving up rebounds on shots he should smother. He played very well in Toronto and Columbus, and it can be said that he stole three points for FL in those games, but last night he was terrible.It's both really. As you mentioned in your other comment, Bob can't control rebounds for **** and the defense can't clear rebounds for **** either.
His stat line is what happen when the weakness of a goalie is also the weakness of the defense.
So when you get goalies that are not totally inept with regards to rebound control, the defense look somewhat better.
When has paying big money to a goalie worked out? Honest question.
It wasn't terrible and certainly not something the Rangers probably regret because you can't just let a future HoF goalie walk after spending a decade with your team but I wouldn't say that contract worked out great for them. He finished in the top 6 in Vezina voting 9 years in a row and then signed that huge deal and aside from the first season when he finished 5th, he hasn't received a single vote. The team has also been on a steady decline in general since that first season.I'm wondering this as well. Lundqvist maybe?
