Not what I heard. Most people had Barkov over him before this game, unashamedly. It was even a massive TSN headline "Bobrovsky or Barkov for Conn Smythe?"
Bob is a .909 in these playoffs. Yeah, he had an awesome start to this series, but it's a full playoff award.
Why should he be ahead of a guy who might finish with 40 points? That'd be 4th all-time, only behind Lemieux and Gretzky crap goalie/defense exploitation era numbers.
I mean, Fleury was snubbed for CS with a .933 in 2008.
If Bob gets a shutout next game he goes up to .921 (or letting in one goal would be .919) and Florida wins the Cup. I don’t see him losing it. 2008 was a lowing scoring era by 10% so Bob and Fleury’s numbers would be pretty even.
If it goes to game 6 or game 7 then it’s tougher for Bob’s numbers to rebound from tonights disaster and it’s likely McDavid gets more points.
In conclusion:
If Florida win Game 5 and Edmonton have a low score then BOB WINS.
If the series goes to Game 6 or 7 then McDAVID WINS (regardless of who takes the Stanley Cup).
