34/36 or 35/37 (cant remember rn) vs michigan despite all the powerplay time, Buckeyes have a great pk unit which helps him

Another big performance today (30 saves in 3-1 W) as they won their best-of-3 series against Penn State.

Has been pretty on-and-off to start the year, with some great performances followed by some pretty bad ones so far. Dobes is clearly struggling with consistency to start the year in the AHL.
There are some extenuating circumstances to a certain extent though.
Dobes being a rookie goaltender first doesn't help, neither have Laval's defensemen's NUMEROUS mistakes to start the season. Defensive support from forwards hasn't been good also, overall structure has been poor, and turnovers have killed Laval's momentum time and again.
So yeah, Laval has been quite the rough team to start your pro career with as a goaltender this year.
That said, there have been games where goaltending contributed a lot to losses too, and that blame lies squarely on the goalkeepers' shoulders.
I still think Dobes is better than what he's shown so far. He just needs time, practice, opportunities to work on his confidence in-net, and a team that doesn't play CHL-level defense in front of him.
The golden lining in all of this though is that aside from Norlinder's defensive lapses team structure and defensive play have gotten better after a horrible 1-6-1 start, and Dobes has also begun to play better.
Onward and upwards I guess.

Probably not so great answer upcoming: as of today he is .865 4.42 outplayed by unknown partner .876 3.65 Pretty much same amount of games.
Way too many 1st year pros on that team. Its their best prospects (mailloux, Roy, Farrell, Kidney) but their vets are baaad.
Issue is the following
1- Rockets best players are mostly rookies, Offensively and defensively, learning to play pro hockey
2- Dobes does not have a veteran G with him to help "Shelter" him and help him grow. A guy like Poulin or Lindgren would be tremendously helpful for him but Habs do not have one of those guys to help him find his gam, teach him about the professional side of the game.
