Watching the Panthers first game....it is weird seeing Bobrovsky in net there.

Not weird watching the Panthers give up 4 goals regardless of how much you pay your goalie.

Goes back to what I’ve always said . All these goalies are really good at nhl level. Average goalies look near elite when they play in a solid defensive system , that have a good defensive core . Carolina rolled with 2 waiver pick ups last year , the islanders were another example . Hope Florida enjoys wasting all that money on Bob who just turned 31. 25-29 for .862 save %. Granted it’s one night , and Tampa can make u look bad .

I mean...Bob did pretty well the last time I remember him playing Tampa

In a much tighter defensive system at the time after safe is death was abandoned.

You probably should have deleted your post after getting to the bolded. There's zero reason to make your argument at this point.

Wait until he gets to play more. And not against Tampa. And jesus you obviously didn't watch, it would have been 8-2 with an average goalie in net.

Bob was totally screened on first goal. Didn't see the rest.

Like the post and your screen name

Last year, Bob sucked against Tampa during the regular season. Last year (save for one period) Bob kicked Tampa's ass in the playoffs. Choose one to make what ever point you wish.

6 of one - half dozen of another.

How Korpi has looked against Tampa is what I'm interested in now

I believe you have summed up debate/discussion on the internet.

I think my point is that a lot depends on defensive play in front of him and I don’t think Florida has very good D.

 

[JacketFanInFL]

Panarin with two points in the Rangers opener. Such a blow to our production. Ugh.

Duchene had three assists.

What do you mean? He was one of The Pancake Bunnies' three keepers this season.

Should have kept Muzzin...he's still available

I disagree somewhat with that assessment. Bob was barely tested in Game 3 and was good (but not great) in Game 4. He was better in the Boston series.

 

[KJ Dangler]

Looks to be a whopping 4,000 or so on hand to see their 10 million dollar goalie having another stellar night . At the first intermission Carolina 4-0 , Bob giving up 4 goals on 14 shots .

Korpisalo doesn't look so bad after all at this point of the season if you put it in perspective. People can complain that he hasn't proven himself yet but if Bob had stayed they'd complain that we paid 10 million for that performance so far.

 

[CBJWerenski8]

Not sure what you guys are all on about. Nobody on the panthers board is blaming bob. He literally stopped two breakaways in a row and got scored on directly afterward because Ekblad didn’t cover anyone who was in front of the net after the save.

We all know that Bob, duchene, and Panarin are going to have success on their new teams. But if duclair and Dzingel do then that’s a true indictment against torts and his ability to get stuff out of players. If Dzingel has a good year for Carolina I’m going to be upset with torts because there was no reason he shouldn’t have fit in here.

 

[ScreamingWild]

Bob had above average defense playing in front of him the past couple of years, now, not even close. Not saying he will be exposed as an average goaltender but I don't see a another Vezina anytime in his near future.

Dzingel with 2 goals tonight/

 

[Theo Von]

Dzingel with 2 goals tonight/

yup.

2 goals.
2 assists.
in 3.5 games this season.

 

[KJ Dangler]

I mean Dzingel was highly successful prior to coming to the cbj as well . It’s not like he forgot to play hockey when he came here . There is a mountain of evidence to suggest Torts is the issue .
