Bobrovsky, the $10M goalie having the 2nd worst save % in the playoffs (.841), with only Vanecek .750 in 13 minutes of ice-time was a huge, huge part of this as well. Driedger being 3rd worst at .871 is also pretty damning.
The lack of Ekblad contributes to both of those, but ultimately...yikes. You aren't winning a playoff series with goaltending like that. Hard to say they should have started Knight in game 1, but...he's by far their best goalie.
Florida has to get rid of Yandle and Bobrovsky...somehow.
