Money well spent, all day, IMO.

 

[Vilam]

Incredible job by Bob, ridiculous performance by Hoff... love it! Win the home opener, split with Tampa... season is truly underway!

man given our luck, i'm surprised nobody fell on bob's legs and took him out for the next 3 months. *knock on wood*

All the crease pile ups tonight had me very nervous

 

[Gentle Man]

Is that a new rule?

It came the year after the no line change rule.

 

[Mase]

NOWWWWWW, WE GO TO SCHOOL!!!

 

[I am not exposed]

That would have been a game we would lost 6-4 last season. Hoffman got the hat trick, but Bob was really good.

Let’s gooooooo!!!

Everytime I was like.. ohh.. he must be dead

 

[RainingRats]

So far Bob is worth every penny. Goaltending from last year lets in at least one more goal tonight.

Tro looks good. Where is the first line and third line? Maybe they'll come alive against lesser competition.

 

[Chessarmy]

A solid win against incredible competition. Would’ve liked to see them close it out at 4-2, but Bobrovsky carried them for the last few minutes to a win.

Now play well the rest of the month and come out of October in decent shape.

Bob is so good! I've now counted two saves tonight that would have been goals last year, and I think two or three last game. That's five goals he saved this year. Unreal!


Moeller pointed it out with five minutes to go in the Third. That the defense was really standing up on their own Blue Line. That's how I used to coach the defense on our Junior Team back in the day. You have to hold the blue lines, everything is out from the lines.

Can probably chalk up another save by Bob that would have been a goal last year. That's 6 now this year I think. I'm going to try and keep track this year, at least as long as I can remember.


I would blame Daddy on that third Tampa Bay goal. It was his turn over at the far Blue Line that caused the rush. He never caught his man on the back check, then the goal. Bob almost saved another though!

What a block by Scve at the end! That was gutsy. Just about hit the open net also.

Can I say at the end of the game that would have been a goal last year?! Let's say so, count 7 saves in games Bob has made that would have been goals last year. What a game, what a hold at the end. Definitely would have blew some points last year.



Great start to the season!!!

[WaitingForThatCab]

It's pretty ridiculous that we've got 8 goals against after two games and we all agree Bob has been fricking excellent.

 

[Mogo]

We'll learn to play better with the lead in the 3rd period the longer the season goes. In Q we trust

 

[Gizmo Tkachuk]

BUSTING MAKES ME FEEL GOOD

1 more? Bob had at least 3 amazing saves, and 2 of those were highway robbery. They would have easily have let in 3 more goals.

Not at all worried about Barkov and CO. Borg, however, needs to get on the scoresheet. Don't care how you do it, but you need to contribute, no excuses.

 

[floridada]

Did Hoffman just say Hubeydo?

 

[PanthersHockey1]

Bob bailed us out early and bailed us out late. That’s game we get 0.0 points last year. No two ways about it.

Also matheson looked great.

 

[Beezer]

Bob has earned his money so far.
