It’s embarrassing how this series has been covered. The Panthers are on the cusp of their first cup after this amazing run over the years and this is the shit they talk about? GTFO

[@TGeorge1984]

I think the Conn Smythe trophy should most definitely go to Alexander Barkov. If it was only awarded for the Finals Series MVP, then Bobrovsky. But because it is for the MVP of the whole playoffs, then Barkov. In the other rounds, we didn't even need a goalie because our defense was so good. Plus, answer this, are the Panthers so good because of our defense or only because our goalie? Clearly, why we are in this position is because of our historically famously unmatchable and relentless attacking defense. And Barkov is the leader of this offensive defense. So it should be Barkov with an argument for Gustav Forsling instead. But they will probably give it to Bobrovsky.

[@rombrandsdg]

I would disagree. If you do not count the final series, than you are absolutely right. But for the whole playoffs it is Bob. I would carefully say that Panthers would still win without Barkov even he is the biggest part of the team without the goalie. But, I'm quite certain the series would look quite different without Bobrovsky and for sure not 3:0.

[@awwwshucks443]

So far either would be well earned. Generally the finals are weighted more heavily. You can absolutely say they don't make it this far without either. (and Gus)

[@epidermiuss]

@@rombrandsdg lol bobs job is easy. top players cant get shots

[@epidermiuss]

agreed. shut down every top line. bobs job has been easy

[@ulical]

It's gotta be Bob. Just in this series so far, he a plus 7 on expected goals. Skinner is at a negative 2. That means that Bob, according to the analytics, has saved seven Oil goals just in three games.

[@ourhouseprice]

Draisattle tried to take Barkov out that was our only hope. Sad.
