Sergei Bobrovsky is now a HHOF lock

[ViD]

2 Vezinas and 2 SCF appearances

I would say he’s likely the second best goalie of the last decade only behind Vasy

did holtby magically vanish?

I mean, No disrespect to Vernon. But with him inducted it opens the floodgates for a lot of goaltenders when it was previously the hardest position to get into the HHOF.

Wouldn't be surprised if Bobrovsky makes it. He's even added to his resume this year, being a Vezina finalist and all.

Bob would be the new worst goalie inducted if he gets in

Bob > Holtby

 

[Empoleon8771]

Finals appearances won't mean a thing for whether Bobrovsky makes it into the HHOF. He needs to actually win a cup.

What's good for him though is that I think the Panthers are the favorite at this point.

2 Vezina wins and 3 nominations. He’s one of the best of this generation

2 Vezina wins and 3 nominations. He’s the best of this generation

He's not even the best Russian goalie of this generation, Vasilevskiy is.

Bob > Holtby

they literally have the same all time stats

No, he really isn't.

Hardware. Bob has more individual hardware and might match Holtby’s number of rings soon

He's not even the best Russian goalie of this generation, Vasilevskiy is.

If he wins the cup, this might be up for debate

 

[tabness]

I mean if he wins the cup then sure. If he wins the Conn Smythe even better. But the 8oborovsky in the playoffs days aren't too far ago

 

[Empoleon8771]

The Panthers aren't winning "in spite" of Bobrovsky, but they're not being carried by Bobrovsky like Vasilevskiy carried Tampa.

in Tampa's 3 cup finals appearances with Vasilevskiy, he had a .927 (won the cup), .937 (won the cup) and .922 save% in the playoffs. Bobrovsky had a .915 last year and a .905 this year.

you can argue that holtby could/should have beaten bobrovsky in 2017. they were literally identical. what bobrovsky had slight favor in save percentage, holtby made equal with shutouts

 

[JPeeper]

2nd best of this gen?

We just ignoring Carey Price? He actually carried his team to a SCF.

Since when did Finals appearances become a measuring stick?

Yeah, Columbus was much weaker than the Caps

 

[Voight]

HHOF has historically been more stringent when it comes to goalies (maybe now that Vernon is in that'll change) but as a two time Vezina winner, Bob should be a lock.

 

[hockeykicker]

Yeah, Columbus was much weaker than the Caps

so then why wouldnt the second best goalie of the decade perform better?

did you forget the capitals 2011-12 playoffs when holtby literally carried the team past the bruins and almost past the rangers by himself when they were the 7 seed?

 

[Rsswmu]

He's not even the best Russian goalie of this generation, Vasilevskiy is.

To be fair Russian Goalies kind of run the show right now. Not saying he is a HHOFer yet.

Vasi is fantastic but he didnt carry Tampa anywhere lol

Tampa is the best team of the cap era

 

[Jersey Fan 12]

Funny. Both Panthers goalies began their careers with the Flyers.

 

[CokenoPepsi]

If Luongo is in, If MAF is in (everyone assumes he will be) then I don't see how he kept out now

Bobrovsky is a year older, still playing, and has 200 more starts in the regular season.

Bob for HHoF for sure after these playoffs are over.
