The only reason he hasn't been earlier is because of his ironman streak. He's been in Q's doghouse for pretty much since Q got the job.

He'd better keeps his eyes open for suspicious figures planting baggies of unknown substances in his car....

To be fair he had a shot blocked that ricocheted to a wide open man with a wide open net.
But the fact he is on the top PP unit is impressive.
Playing really well.

Yeah they’re legit using him as a trigger man on the PP. Good to see.

Bobrovsky’s contract is the worst in league, right? He and Jeff Skinner…yikes
Add in Keith Yandle’s deal and Florida has some really odorous contracts.

Lets start with 'A save' first and worry about getting a 'Big Save' after that.
Baby steps sir....baby steps.

3-1 Lightning. Can’t fault Bob on the last two goals — Panthers going to have to come back again.

Bobrovsky for sure.
Skinner is bad but a big part of that was coaching this year IMO. He’s not a guy that’s going to have any success playing 4th line all year.
And it’s much harder to overcome a horrible goalie contract than a horrible player contract.

I put game 4 on in the background.
My 4 year old just said "put hockey on TV"
Me: hockey is on the TV buddy
4 yr old: Not that one, the C one (referring to the Flames)
The brainwashing is going well.

Goalie Bob with the stellar .500 save %. I feel bad for the Panthers. They have been the WAY better team.

This series is the embodiment of hard work vs skill. Skill is winning out

Making a child watch this season's iteration of the Flames might be construed as a particularly grim form of cruel and inhumane punishment.
Child Protective Services has been notified. 
Rumour has it that they've been playing the Flames season on a never-ending loop at Abu Ghraib and Guantanamo Bay while lawyers have been furiously flipping through the Geneva Convention documents lamenting the fact that this form of torture isnt explicitly forbidden anywhere in there.

Maybe the breakaway because he had a chance to react to it, but the screen-tip and then tip in front from Palat unmolested were ones where he had no chance other than it accidentally bouncing right into him.
Imagine that, suggesting that a goalie's best chance at a save on 3 goals was the breakaway.
The Panthers really didn't help him in front of the net at all so far. Barkov was suspiciously lazy on 2 of those plays as well. Just not good enough in their own zone despite giving up so few shots and dominating in the Tampa end.
It's disheartening for sure, but to me it shows that the Panthers are the better team outside of a few big plays. Clean it up and you can win this game and this series.

Regardless of the outcome of this series, Florida has really turned heads around the league. I think they could’ve easily won this in 5 games if Ekblad were here.
They’re gonna be even scarier next year. They’re giving the Lightning fits.

Effectively it’s “find a way”.
$10M goalies should find a way. It’s not entirely fair, but goalies do have the ability to make very difficult saves - and that’s what Bob is being paid for.
We see top tier goaltending performances every year, and Bob just isn’t delivering that.
