GOALIE MASK PLAYOFF UPDATE:  SERGEI BOBROVSKY GOALIE MASK UNSIGNED 2020 FLORIDA

There is no question that what the Florida Panthers have done during the first two rounds of the Stanley Cup Playoffs has been unreal.

Florida was the last team into the postseason, entering the tournament as the eight-seed in a loaded Eastern Conference.

It was a hot goalie, 30-year-old AHL veteran Alex Lyon, who stepped in for a sick Sergei Bobrovsky and helped carry Florida into the playoffs over the final weeks of the regular season.

So far during the playoffs Bobrovsky has played in 10 games, starting Florida’s past nine.

After losing his first start, Game 4 against Boston, Bobrovsky has been nearly lights out. He’s won seven of eight, and has done so being nearly unbeatable when Florida has played at even strength.

During the playoffs, Bob’s 5-on-5 save percentage is .940 and his goals against average is just 1.87 while his expected goals against is nearly a goal higher at 2.77. Oh, and his goals saved above average is an impressive 5.90.

As long as Bob continues to perform at the level he’s been at during the postseason, it’s not crazy to start thinking of words like Stanley Cup or Conn Smythe.
