I’m sure no one has been saying it recently with out win streak. People still say it though
The team save percentage is top 10 in the league
Stolarz has a percentage over .900
Bobrovsky is just under .900
Yes both goalies have had bad games but those happen and defence can be put to blame for most of it
Honestly, I feel like it’s less about our current tandem and more about the 2 goalies we gave away (Woll, Hildeby)
People need to shut up saying “Why did we trade Woll”? “Hildeby was our future”!
On Hildeby, remember who we have as our 3rd string… the Calder cup mvp Artur Akhtyamov. Now Artur hasnt proved himself at NHL level yet (I’m sure he will get chances), but he is dominant in the marlies. DONT FORGET HILDEBY GOT US PAUL, and he has been killing it for us so far and he MIGHT be our new 2C even if JT comes back (most likely goes back to line 3 but idk)
On Woll, Now I feel like Chayka just didn’t want Woll and wanted to dump him, the 2 guys we got back in the trade aren’t on the team anymore (Ersson to Ottawa shortly after, Andrae in the Marchenko deal after we got Blakenburg)
It’s clear Chayka wanted an experienced goalie in our tandem who yes may be old, but he can kill it at often times, and he’s our guy in the playoffs!
Bob’s contract may be a little high but honestly who cares the cap goes up soon anyways.
MAIN POINT: Our goalies aren’t a problem and the goalies we gave away aren’t a problem. And Akhtyamov is a very good 3rd string incase of injury
Anyways, Calgary tomorrow we move 👍👍
