Post-Game Talk: Lightning 6 @ Panthers 1 - 13/2 * 7 PM EST - v1.2

[FinlandPanther]

Vokoun?

You know that’s not a terrible comparison.

 

[PSLguy]

Time to retire the retro jerseys

 

[ProjectPanthers]

Huberdeau is just handingp possession to the Bolts

 

[FinlandPanther]

Great now Bob’s confidence is going to be even lower for weeks. Cool.

 

[Crossbar]

Somehow Gudas and Yandle are still plus-1's in this game, good job Radko.

Game was over anyways.

 

[FrolikFan67]

I get that it’s a breakaway, but it’s sad how if anyone gets a clean look it’s nearly automatically in the back of the net. How many 5 hole goals is that today?

 

[Pukboy5kroner]

Great now Bob’s confidence is going to be even lower for weeks. Cool.

He's gotta work on that 12 hole.

 

[CursedCats]

Bob was supposed to be a wizard on the lateral movement and make those unbelievable saves. I wonder when that starts. I dont blame him for loss tonight. It just would be nice to see that once in a while. You know that desperation save

Now I miss Tim Thomas.

 

[Chessarmy]

For those who were celebrating Bobrovsky stats slowly getting better...

...yeah... I think tonight ruined that.

 

[PSLguy]

Now I miss Tim Thomas.

Jose Theodore

Jose, Jose, Jose, Jose

Bob could please people with a stretch of great games. Or maybe by having a save % over 90 for a little while.

Sure, but again a big part of goaltending is how the team plays around you.

As for stats, nights like this are a good example of why they're a poor tool to use on their own. The team stopped playing after the second goal, but that doesn't stop the remaining 4 from counting against Bob's stats and further proving your point.

I think pretty much everyone is able to make an assessment on Bob's play without Goldies influence. Trust me, I'm not letting Goldie have an impact on how I view Bob.

Yup, because every single person tunes out Goldie like you do, so it must be applicable to every Panthers fan.

I'll give you an NHL example. Jack Edwards, well known announcer in the hockey community for all the wrong reasons. Your average fan probably realises that he's the biggest homer around and twists what he sees to fit his own narrative. Every now and then there's a discussion "why hasn't Jack Edwards been fired yet?". Well because there is an audience who likes the drivel that comes out of his mouth and some of them actually believe it.

So is it that far fetched to think Goldie can influence how people see our players, especially when it seems to be targeted towards only one player? Don't underestimate the power of subconscious repetitive submission, because everyone faces it on every digital platform on a daily basis.

But if he had saved this goal, and that goal, and that other goal, then his save percentage would be .920!

 

[StrangeVision]

At this point I'd go get Belfour out of whichever brewery he's swimming around in and give him a go in net.

 

[PSLguy]

Tampa laughing on the bench, hopefully that disrespect fires the boys up for Monday.

 

[StrangeVision]

Yay, it's finally over.

 

[ProjectPanthers]

Vasy 1st star no doubt.

 

[ucanthanzalthetruth]

Vasilevskiy put on a show. Bob did not. That said, they got a lot of chances, hopefully we see McBackup on Monday but I doubt it, he never plays.

 

[vendetta]

The goalie’s job is still to stop the puck.

The guy on the other side has made some great saves on some not so great defense.

I don’t understand fans who expect zero defensive breakdowns over the course of a hockey game.

This is exactly it. This game shows it. Sure maybe we don’t win anyway but bib simply doesn’t give us a chance whatsoever

 

[ucanthanzalthetruth]

Did you not see the 2nd period?

It wasn't great but Florida could have had 4 goals tonight, Vasilevskiy was incredible.

 

[Mogo]

Where are you?

 

[floridada]

Well that was f***ing awful. At least UFC is on soon.

I think people can see Bob's performance and stats to make up their own mind. Don't need Goldie jumping for joy when Bob makes a save to influence us. Yeah, he's not excited about Bob and his play. But can you blame him.
