Can't blame Khudobin for this one.

Hopefully he can build on this and have a strong start in his next game.

Yeah, people giving Khudobin more crap for his tough PP goal against than Rask for his somewhat weak ones (especially the second and third, first was almost 100% on Brad) in Anton's third good game of the season because he has been subpar in his other four games. Sure, Rask has the second most shutouts in the league and the 4th best SVS% and 3rd best GAA of goalies with more than 15 starts, so I understand giving him a pass if he lets in a rough goal or two, or even a stinker. Going after Khudobin when he finally played a really good game (albeit half a game against a pretty damn bad team that were up three goals and hence weren't really pushing on offence) is stupid.

I agree its the piling on that happens in boards, this time he was very good. If not for him it would have been 6-2. Dare I say maybe with him in they win the game and he does not let in the other 2 goals that rask was weak on. At least Claude pulled Rask which was a rare thing to see. He is the only reason the team is relevant this year other then Pasta but a stinker was going happen.

Dobby did a great job relieving Tuukka. Hopefully this gave him confidence & he will play like this going forward.

Khudobin did good, but that doesn't change how shaky he looked. Seemed like every shot on him he was looking behind him.

The way he grabs pucks in his chest like he's been shot always scares me. In addition his rebound control is terrible. But he was fine in relief this game.

Did we watch the same game?? I'll agree you can't fault Dobby on the first 2 goals but at some point you need a save. He did not make the "key save" and the OT goal was awful. Boston out played this team the first 40 mins and it should/could have been 4-0 going into the third. However we can't score
Either way we neee a timely save and did not get it tonight

He is cooked, a shell of the goalie he was 3 years for the Bruins. Time to move on him now before it is too late, McIntyre is killing it in Providence, make the move Sweeney.

There are 63 goalies who have played in the NHL this season who have a better save pct. than Khudobin. Sorry, that's not going to cut it for a team with offensive issues. At this point management is completely incompetent to be keeping this guy on the roster. Getting just a merely average backup is not that complex in this league.

Love Doby but he has been totally unreliable this year. He's getting beat clean on stoppable shots.

Weak Link. Beaten clean far too often, all over the place in the crease, can't handle the puck, can't steal a game. Providence please.

Unless he had a vision of the future, I doubt it...

Time for Mac to come up

I don`t care who it is, but it has to be someone that gives this team a chance to bank 2 pts when Rask isn`t playing

This guy has been a major contributor to this team coming away far too often empty handed or leaving points out there

A team that struggles to score needs top notch goaltending. Khudobin's struggles are amplified because this team can't score.

Hell baby
Yeah he was bad. Doesn't look like an NHL goalie anymore. That one win was nice at least I guess.
