Sergei Bobrovsky baffles his own teammates at times.
Florida’s starting goaltender has his own schedule and regimen — slowing gliding across the entirety of the ice to begin his process of getting ready in the morning, an extremely strict diet and some moves in the weight room that the Panthers say are all his own.
“Bob has been Bob for the last 10 years,” Panthers forward Vladimir Tarasenko said. “He’s unbelievable.” It is a small club of goalies over 35 who have the numbers that Bobrovsky has so far in these playoffs: 12 wins, .908 save percentage, 2.20 goals-against average. The other names on that list over the last 50 years — Thomas, Hasek, Patrick Roy, Chris Osgood and Martin Brodeur.“He’s the hardest-working guy I’ve ever seen,” Panthers captain Aleksander Barkov said after the East final, as fellow forward Matthew Tkachuk sat to his right and nodded.
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.
