Bobrovsky becomes 14th goalie to win 400 games

[ucanthanzalthetruth]

At 36, he has 1 year left after this on his current contract on a good Florida team where he'll see the lion's share of starts so he'll be able to rack up quite a few more wins there, he could easily play another 3-4 years after that if he wants which would probably put him at 500, remains to be seen if that happens.

400 wins, 1 x Cup, 2 x Vezina, 3 x all star games for the future hall of famer.

Yeah. What a strange career that absolutely should end with an induction.

 

[Panteras]

Good win tonight, needed after last game’s stinker. Boobitsky was really good tonight.

 

[Pablo El Perro]

Yeah. What a strange career that absolutely should end with an induction.

Definitely, it's odd seeing a great goalie set off into the sunset when he doesn't have to be the team.

I don't know how he became the fastest goalie to do that playing so many years in Columbus.

 

[Laus723]

Love having him here, congrats Bobby. Doubted you for a bit, but I know that was dumb since the defense pure ass during that stretch.

He won a couple Vezinas in Columbus. He's not Osgood.

Yeah, but they never won that many games (never a dominant 110+ point team as I remember). I guess he might have had a big workload.

He’s been top 10 in the nhl in wins quite a bit:

2012-13 NHL 21 (7th)
2013-14 NHL 32 (10th)
2016-17 NHL 41 (3rd)
2017-18 NHL 37 (5th)
2018-19 NHL 37 (2nd)
2020-21 NHL 19 (10th)
2021-22 NHL 39 (1st)
2023-24 NHL 36 (3rd)

Great for Bob!

Greatest Russian goalie to play in NHL IMO

 

[Pablo El Perro]

He did. And, odd as it is, over half of his wins were with the Blue Jackets in 7 years there. He hasn't played 60 games in a season with the Panthers.

That's quite the feat. Lots of amazing goalies over the years, and lots on good teams.

One of the very few modern goaltenders to win 2 vezinas. Depending which period you look at... him, Hellebuyck an Thomas?

 

[CatOTails]

Huh? That was unexpected. When reading the article on NHL.com I was sure he's the fastest Russian goaltender to get 400 wins.

Dryden retiring at 397 wins open the door at it being more possible, no tie era are more win heavy, but still surprising.

Roy took where more games (753) to reach 400 wins (he had 90 ties after those 753 first games) and he played only on strong team outside a single season IIRC.
