Guess you’re going to have to go back to playing 25 mins a night Seth.

Goalie is def a QB type position where you get all glory or all the blame and no inbetween

If bob was off we lost, if bob was on we won. Think some people forget the absolute insane goals he saves, you swap goalies that series and its over in 4 or 5

What playoff game did we have that bob was off and we won? (Maybe game 6 vs boston in 23) McDavid can have a great game and a quiet/bad game and doesnt get blamed as much for that quiet/bad game as a goalie would.

Oilers somehow managed to shield skinner well in the finals while we gave breakaway after breakaway especially on the powerplays.

Dont think he was the de facto Conn Smythe, but man people act like he wasnt even close for some reason.

zactly!

Bobrovsky is 36 years old. He was obviously good enough last year and his sv% has been going up as the season progresses this year.. but players at his age can fall off very quickly.

Look what happened to Pavelski last year.. had a decent regular season then struggled mightily in the playoffs to the point he retired. Not saying that will happen to Bob, just an example of how quickly a decline can happen, especially when your closer to 40..

Of course but goalies tend to last a little longer if they're built a certain way and I feel Bob is more likely to break the age record and keep his game than lose his game in the next four years.
