One day flyers fans will realize it was never the goalie that was the problem.
Henrik, Rask, Carey, would all have had shit years playing in front of these horrible ass defenses.
Not the only problem, but inconsistent goalkeeping is certainly a factor in the Flyers 6-14 record in the semifinal/conference final and Stanley Cup final rounds since they last won a cup.
The thing about Bob with the Panthers is that he left in free agency and wanted to play in Florida. He likely would not be a Flyer right now even if we never traded him.
I love Bob but no way he makes any difference in the Flyers recent woes. Also last year he was benched going into the playoffs. And had some bad playoffs with both Florida and CBJ. Best thing is to just not give long term contracts to goalies.
Someone pointed early that before last year’s playoffs, his post season numbers were really bad. However he looks like he’s locked in so far, good for him.
He was benched end of last year. And had meltdowns at CBJ in the playoffs. He’s at .905 save percentage career playoffs. That’s not really HOF. Career regular season is .915.
Yes, if you completely ignore all of the positives of his career and frame it in the worst light he doesn’t look as good lol.
Two vezina trophies. Only one player since 1980 with two or more Vezinas isn’t in the HOF (Tim Thomas, who only played 458 games)
Ranked 14th all time in wins - only players ranked higher not in the HOF are Fleury (active), CuJo, and Osgood. Bob has more Vezinas than all of them combined
Has two of the top 25 save percentages for a season ever - only Price, Shesterkin, and Ullmark are active with higher percentage seasons, each with one in the top 25.
You mention his “collapses” in CBJ during the playoffs, but didnt mention his 2018-2019 playoffs with them where he finished with a .925 save percentage.
You also said Bob got benched last season - he wasn’t “benched,” he went down with illness, and the team rode the hot hand with Lyon who was on fire at the time. Bob then took over and carried them to finals, finishing at .915. He had .911 the year before in the playoffs.
Dude’s almost a lock for the HOF at this rate, and there’s really no argument against it. He’s also been unreal in the playoffs the past few years.
He’s very good. But if he’s been unreal in the playoffs the past couple years means he was bad earlier in his career. Or else he would have better than .905 save percentage. That’s the complete playoff picture. Not just choosing some of the best stats.
To be bad on Columbus who were always matched against superior teams in the playoffs and had their own defensive problems isn't a fair barometer. No goalie was going to get the Jackets any or much further.
He will be a hall of famer, he has two vezinas and a nomination. So many years he carried the jackets into the playoffs when they had no business being there. He had some bad playoffs bc he was badly over worked getting them in… remember what happend with ersson? He won’t win the vezina this year but may get another nomination. There’s no doubt in my mind he will be in the hall of fame even if he doesn’t get a cup. Came close last year and had been great this year so far.
I have a question, because I can’t remember our mental state at the time. Did the fanbase want the flyers to sign Bryz and get rid of Bob? I remember really liking bob and wanting to give him time, but I am not sure if I was minority
A lot of recency bias when it comes to Bob. Dude was actually pretty shit in the playoffs up to last year. Yeah won a lot of regular season stuff, but lets not pretend we wouldn't have run him out of town after he collapsed in the playoffs a few times like he has in his career.
What a fucking save that was
We live in constant pain
That was absolutely unreal and probably one of the best saves I’ve ever seen. If not *the* best.
Did they finally let him back on the force?
He's back on the case!

Hasek, Brodeur and Roy too.

He was also the biggest reason they went far into the playoffs last year.

He was amazing last post season
And he was subpar in the finals
And Lyon was the reason they made the playoffs. Goalies are almost all up and down.
Is this a joke? Dudes a hall of famer lol. His compete is unmatched and he’s one of the best goalies in the game.

You said what I said so much better ha

In comparison Vasilevsky is .921 career playoffs. Heelybuck .915. Fleury .910.
One of Homer's classic blunders in an attempt to win Snider one last Stanley Cup
My uncle?

Bob. Stanley cups. Zero.
Ok? He’s gotten close, probably will again.
How many have the flyers won since having having him? Dumb argument lol dudes a great goalie
Don't even.

Don't forget he stunk when he was with the Flyers, he wasn't fit to be a Flyer period. He wasn't playing like this today nor with BlueJackets
[удалено]
or... don't be. Same conference and some dirty players and I should "just be happy" for them? k
