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

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

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

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)

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?

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 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.

I figured if anyone did it faster it would have been Fleury but he needed 728 games. Bobrovsky is indeed the fastest.
There was a 108-point season in there. Bob made the playoffs in Columbus far more than he didn't, but it's easy to forget that because they were never better than third in the division even in that 108-point season because the Metro was dominated by two teams with generational superstars.

Very hard to be a dominant team people are talking about in the same division as prime Crosby and prime Ovechkin, that's for sure.

Brodeur took 720. But yeah, in terms of past eras, those are the main ones you have to beat. Great from the moment they stepped on the ice in the NHL, played for good to great teams. Obviously the reason they didn't do this is because of ties (105 ties for Brodeur), but still great for Bob.
Fun fact: he was that too!

Yes, the big factor for Goalies now vs. then is there are no ties. So take roughly half the ties (probably slight better when talking about elite goaltenders) and convert them to wins for prior gen goaltenders for a more like to like comparison.
