About three months shy of turning 36, Bobrovsky could become the third-oldest goalie in more than 50 years to be the starting netminder for a team that wins the Stanley Cup.
Jun 04, 2024 at 11:53 AM ETFORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — Sergei Bobrovsky baffles his own teammates at times.
“Bob has been Bob for the last 10 years,” Panthers forward Vladimir Tarasenko said. “He’s unbelievable.” Florida prides itself on work ethic; the Panthers make no effort to hide that training camps under coach Paul Maurice have been designed to push players to their limits and beyond, and in-season, guys will even compete against one another on the stationary bikes postgame — getting one more full sweat in after playing for three periods.
The math has been simple in these playoffs. When Bobrovsky gives up three goals or fewer, Florida is 12-2. When he allows four goals or more, Florida is 0-3. It’s a similar one-sided breakdown for his career against the high-octane Oilers led by Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl; he’s 10-1 when allowing three goals or fewer, 1-5 otherwise.
