Comments about 'playoffs Bob' are in multiple threads right now, but thought I'd post my reply here.
His playoff record is crap but I'm not as worried about him being a choker as others are here. He's handled himself fine on the international stage and I think playing for your country in a sudden-death game is probably at least as much, and likely more, pressure than any first-round playoff game.
I think the issue for him is that he is a 'groove' goalie. When he is in the groove, he can be a top 3 goalie in the league (sometimes top period). But when he gets out that groove, look out. It's like he's trying so hard to find his way back, that he starts overplaying shots, leading to him being out of position and questioning his angles.
I'm not passing the blame for him, but I hope the team as a whole learns from the results from the end of the regular season. As those losses started to pile up, you could see Bob's supreme confidence slowly fading. While the players might think they can just switch it on come playoff time, that is not something that seems to work for Bob.
I personally believe that if the playoffs had started after 72 games, rather than 82, Bob would have been fine. In other words, I don't think that Bob is going to always be bad in the playoffs, which is a good thing. Next year, the team can't take their foot off the gas and coast through the end of season after they clinch - they need to realize the importance of finishing strong and coming in with momentum and with Bob's confidence in full swing.
