That's what happened last year.
This year they made it to game 3 before Bob cratered and now the team is reeling because they've seen this movie before.
They gave up 43 goals in the first 20 games of the playoffs going 15-5
They've given up 18 goals in the last three games going 0-3
Bob is cooked
Panthers are cooked

This is simply not correct
I hate the simplistic view that if a goalie gets scored on, it’s his fault
That saucer pass from Draisaitl to Foegele didn’t go in because of #### goaltending
That is how you ####ing score
Breakaways where a guy makes the goalie move laterally and tucks it over pad, or off the skate blade of a stretched out goalie moving that way?
That is how you ####ing score
Deflections off a guy’s elbow, or the inside of Hyman’s leg? Puck luck, not #### goaltending
When Bob was in ‘god mode’ he made some great saves but they also put a lot of shots into his logo
Panthers didn’t lose because of goaltending this game
Game 5, sure thing - he should’ve had that McDavid shot. But game 6? No
