Neither goalie was even his team’s starter when the playoffs began. Both have been amazingly good. Whose Cinderella story prevails?

There has been tangible change to Hill’s game throughout the course of the 2022-23 season. The first several months saw him flailing around the crease, often ending up on his backside swimming for loose pucks. But things started to turn for Hill in the calendar year of 2023, when he got the chance to play multiple games in a row.
Vegas goalie coach Sean Burke deserves credit for molding Hill into a patient goaltender that lets the play come to him. Using an inside-out approach, the Golden Knights netminder is now scrambling only when absolutely necessary. But I think the most dangerous aspect of Florida’s offensive attack is that it shows up when most needed. Forward Matthew Tkachuk has been a nightmare for opposing goaltenders. Not only is he capable of scoring game-winning overtime goals, he’s also a pest of the highest order in front of the net. Hill will have to fight for every sightline against the Panthers.
Against Carolina, Bobrovsky faced a spray-and-pray Hurricanes offense that featured shots from everywhere in the offensive zone. Traffic was expected to play a big part in the series, but the Hurricanes were never able to solve Bobrovsky from a distance. And he did a nice job of controlling rebounds in tight.
