Bobrovsky played amazingly. It was stopping those rebounds that kept Florida in the game.

[@DavidWoelkechannel]

yes, Bob played well, however, the Oilers still allowed 5 goals against and Bob had no influence on the Oiler defense

[@Dudeguy914]

Kept Florida in the game did you see the score 😂

[@DavidWoelkechannel]

@@Dudeguy914I saw the score. Bob could have allowed 3 more goals and the cats still would have won. My point is that the cats outscored the Oilers and garnered 5 goals. Bob did a standout job, not detracting from his accomplishments

[@ivodozi]

@@Dudeguy914I heard the excuses in the last game. I see the same problem. You don’t have defense or goaltending. You run into a hot goalie, you lose. Simple as that.

Oilers have McDavid, the other Teams a goalie

[@182kramer]

[@bdenver601]

Everyone says Edmonton needs a goalie (and they do) but without help, you could have the most elite goalie in the league back there with that defense and still probably end up with a 3+ GAPG.

[@TheGreatCatsby-pd2tt]

Bobrovsky somehow copes without defense.

[@dalenkuchmey5676]

Not true. Price carried the Canadians to an nhl final they had no business being in

[@reynardus1359]

After two rather weak efforts Bobrovsky finally turned in a monster of a performance and the guns came alive to make a statement. Thank you Panthers. Also, it's nice to see Sportsner giving a highlights reel that includes great efforts by both teams that do not necessarily result in a score.

[@Andrey_K70]

I hope that Bob will show his real power in PO again.

[@Jack-md2uv]

They front load it with the 1st period so they have more editing time. Feels like I watch the whole first period then just the major highlights the rest of the game lol

[@Andrey_K70]

Бобр кстати этим и отличается от многих других вратарей, бывает, что он играет не очень надежно, но в ключевые моменты он концентрируется, спасает свою команду и дает ей шанс на победу, тогда как многие другие отличные вратари, например Ульмарк, Густафсон, Шестеркин, наоборот в такой момент могут дрогнуть и подвести.

If you listen closely, you can hear Oiler fans thinking '"If we just had a Goaltender like this..." But the truth is it wouldn't matter, under pressure and grit from an opposing team you see the same defensive breakdowns, and Oiler goaltenders hung out to dry.

[@dira_versal]

This how Panthers looked in the play-off last season. Speed, aggression and excellent goaltending! I think a lot of teams are happy the playoff doesn't start next week. Especially whoever are up against Panthers. (not a Panthers fan)

[@VarjoPira]

Panthers are a top contender again this season. Their first line is just monstrous.

[@ThatsFirePower]

Oils goalie situation is so bad its like an empty net for the opposition team. The 2 goalies combined experience is less than 365 days. You can tell an experienced goalie like brobovsky is difficult to beat even on a penalty shot or breakaway. Oils need that trade.

[@smaug1234]

The Oilers could certainly use a upgrade in net but the root problem is that they cant or just don't defend. If there is some form of defensive structure the tenders they have would not be constantly left alone facing high danger shots with 3 to 4 guys just watching the puck. The Oilers are a skilled Pond hockey team.

[@trvman1]

Oilers are ALL offense and NO defense. Has been that way for a DECADE and no team can win a Cup on offense only. I think it will take them missing the playoffs or out in 1st round before they trade for a goalie. This has been MANAGEMENTS doing for a decade. Can't keep blaming/firing coaches.

[@andrewlindhe722]

McDavid said if you're a no 1 goalie in toronto you can be a no 1 goalie anywhere, except Edmonton

[@landrec2]

Panthers are no joke, very good team. The playoffs this year are going to be epic.
