He was staring out at center ice not even looking as Nylander went around Verhaeghe and tucked it in without even a stick check.
Now people will sit and look at Bobrovsky's numbers and say he's washed up, but he was incredible in this one, stopping great chance after great chance.
The team has absolutely zero defensive IQ, and I have no idea why they're so terrible at it this year, but there's no way they make the playoffs playing like this.
It's on Maurice to figure out a good defensive structure, teach it, and hold his team accountable to that standard. He's just not doing a ####ing thing with this team and I cannot wait until he's fired.

I know people might accuse me of sour grapes but Tkachuk tried a low percentage shot in OT that ended up in the back of their net 8 seconds later. He also blew the game against the Oilers in OT and the Panthers are 0-4 in OT. He kinda took a shot at Sutter for not playing him in OT but it seems like there was a reason for that, it doesn't really suit his game.
and yeah Bob stole a point...I watched most of this one and he was the best player on the ICE
