In both cases at least the top half of the net was open. The two shooters couldn’t lift the puck despite both being routine shots. That’s your relevant context. I guess you’re just making stuff up without watching the game in question so that you can engage in your favorite pastime: Bob bashing.
This right here. Oook at that angle. I have no clue how a puck from that angle gets by a goalie. In fact it doesn’t get by any goalie other than bob. I have absolutely no clue what bob is doing here. It’s completely unacceptable. That puck simply cannot find its way into the net reguardless of how good the tip is
Factor of them releasing an extra 5k tickets just this morning. Opened things up from 9K to 14K
Why does Bennett get a free pass? That penalty was very unnecessarily dumb. Not only did he cost game 1, but I would argue game 2, not having him in the lineup.
I explained exactly why the context is important. But you have every right to continue your Bob bashing and not make fair statements instead. Yes, that’s your right.
I'd say all those goalies are trash lol. Driedger is the only one that has put up good numbers here. Because he's been the only solid goaltender we've had during that time span.
If Q leaves for Seattle that will be the death knell of the Florida Panthers as a franchise.
I think you're overestimating the degree to which fans care about the coach. Q did an amazing job of helping Barkov, Ekblad, and Huberdeau take the next step and become truly elite players with confidence. Losing him isn't gonna undo that.
Lol many here view it as a guarantee Barky will resign because he’s a good quiet loyal Finnish boy who magically lives outside the parameters of the business called sports
Wait that’s possible? I thought we absolve the goalie of any blame whatsoever.
It's not about the fans, it's about the fact that this franchise can't keep a great name like Q for more than a couple of years.
So in this case did Ned cost Carolina the game?
Are there any analogs for him not coming back? Only cases I can really think of where a captain with a blank check leaves is if he’s heading back to his hometown team that he’s always dreamed of playing for (see Tavares).
all of the above
Yandle is a goner for one. That in itself will initiate a locker room morale issue. It’s clear that Barky is good friends with him. Ok whatever no biggie, Barky can look beyond that. But then what about Huby? If he’s a goner too...man, good luck convincing Barkov to stay. If Yandle, Huby, and now some wild rumors or Q leaving...? Yeah, good luck with that. Barkov will talk to to Huby I’m sure. We might have to sign them both I dunno how that’s gonna work. He might want Huby to be signed as well in tandem, some assurance.
Yes, Q has been really good this year. Other than that one coaches challenge against the Preds in the year, and maybe a couple goaltending decisions, he had a really good year.
