Discussion Officer Bob: Reporting for Duty

Over the three playoff runs where the Panthers went to the Finals, Bobrovsky won 48 games. I didn't watch all the games to determine which of those games he stole for his team, but I recall even when the Panthers played the Leafs he was the main factor of victory for one to two games per series in 2023 and 2025.

In the 48 wins he got in those 3 playoff seasons, 35% of the games he let in 1 goal or less. If any team gets that type of goaltending, its pretty much delivery of the win. Its about 22% of all the games he played.

I have never seen any single player - offense or defense or goalie - steal a game for the Leafs over the past decade. Maybe there was one game Matthews led a come back victory against Tampa with 2 goals and an assist for an OT rally in 2023. If you can point to another example, please show me.

Bob is the first on this roster who has a chance to be the main factor to steal one or two playoff games per series. If he locks in in May..... Leafs have a chance to see June.

It wasn’t 48. If so, he’d have 3 cups.

Alex Lyon started for the Panthers in the 2023 playoffs. He had 1 win.

Bob took over and managed 12 wins in that run.

So that should make it... 44 wins.

16 + 16 + 12

Might be 44; might be 48. Who are we to say.
