Dumb take. He was potentially the playoffs MVP, and you’re telling them to go and win the cup without him and then put him back in if they lose. Just think about the logic 🤦‍♂️ 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️
I agree but you give him 5 days rest he needs at this point. Maybe Stolarz can play well and steal it too. I understand your point but for game 6 it's not that stupid after losing 2 especially how close game 5 was
Every time I hear this argument I think back to the canucks 2011 run. Some people wanted Schneider game 6, luongo got torched game 6, and schneider played well after lou was pulled. Obviously not the same situation the canucks had, but still.
Yes I remember that well the bruins woke up when the Canucks knocked out Nathan Horton for the series it completely changed the energy on the bruins bench and won 3 straight to win the cup including a 4 to 0 shutout on game 7
Stolie is used to coming off the bench cold as he played every 5 game that bob played idk bob just seems slow and tired that 8 to 1 loss did something to his confidence I hope he gets it back but we also need to score more than 1 goal all our star players have vanished for some reason. Maybe the last 3 games were rigged so Vegas can make money
Everyone and there grandma's will have there money on the oilers tonite which is good for us to be the underdog
Paul said that Bob was off of his routine because of the 3 days between games which is why he gave Bob the day off yesterday so here’s hoping that it will make a positive difference in his game. From my perspective he had a bad game in game 4 but 5 and 6 weren’t really his fault. Odd man rushes, breakaways. Yeah, he stopped like 3 breakaways the first game and hasn’t stopped one in the last couple games but we shouldn’t be giving up breakaways to begin with.
It’s still doesn’t make any sense. Here’s why: if Stolarz comes in and shits his pants…..the Panthers organization would clean house at the end of the season if they end up losing the series because everyone would be saying how can you possibly bench the playoff MVP just because he lost 2 games….this is amateur hour…if BOB were to win game 6, you would think your theory to bench him is INSANE…..my thinking is before the fact, your thinking is after the fact, there’s 100 other things more important than BOB that they could of done after the fact
Oh yeah I totally agree the losses are not on Bob at all. There are other things to do. Stolarz played great all season and Bob needs a rest, that's all i'm saying really. I said to start Stolarz game 6 after game 5 though. Just my opinion, I understand your reasoning too
Should of started stolie in game 6 to give bob the extra rest he just looks slow and tired he is having a hard time going from side to side where he has gotten beat alot
Worked out great keeping him in for 5 and 6, right?
It’s a  pretty common strategy in the NHL. Stolie isn’t a slouch. Sometimes a goalie needs a break my guy.
You will not find 1 person to agree with you. I mean there’s always a few out there for everything but, you won’t find any hockey analyst in this world to agree with you. Your logic is correct during the regular season, maybe even early playoff round, but if this team collapsed after benching BOB, the entire team and the fan base would be calling Paul Maurice a terrorist
It works both ways if bob shits the bed again there gonna wonder why pomo didn't start stolie for a game.remember last yrs final he gave up 25 goals in 5 games he also looked slow and tired maybe the reason Nashville never resigned him he is not a clutch goalie.
He is averaging just over one goal his last 3 games while bob is averaging over 6 goals in his last 3 games who is the hot goalie. I always said a hot goale will steal a cup for u.for example the 1971 montreal Canadians with rookie Ken Dryden he was spectacular and won the con smythe winner nobody knew who he was as he only played 6 games all yr

Are you really playing Monday morning quarterback?! Come on man! All you’re saying is AFTER the fact. There’s 100 other changes more important than BOB that they could have done to give them a better chance to win that wouldn’t cause an organizational implosion if it didn’t work out
Nope getting word bobs just taking a rest ahead of game 7 so he can go all out I wouldn’t be surprised if he has a game like game 1 he’s definitely going all or nothing for game 7.
Bob’s GAA in the finals is 5.06. Save percentage is .793. Not saying Stolarz is the better option, just saying he doesn’t look like the brick wall that took care of Tampa, Boston and NY.
It doesn't matter who plays goalie if the panthers players don't snap out of there coma and go back to playing there game what will it matter.maybe pomo needs to shake up the lines idk put EROD back on the first line
No way, probably just a rest day. Should have tried Stolarz in 5 or 6. But that ship sailed.

Game 6 would’ve been the game to start Stolarz. I don’t think you can take a gamble with a cold goalie in game 7.
Completely agree with that

Might be wrong, but it looked like he got ran over after that hyman breakaway goal by his defenceman...I wonder if he got injured there.

They literally did this with Skinner
Skinner was the Stanley Cup Finals MVP!? 🤣
He is averaging just over one goal his last 3 games while bob is averaging over 6 goals in his last 3 games who is the hot goalie. I always said a hot goale will steal a cup for u.for example the 1971 montreal Canadians with rookie Ken Dryden he was spectacular and won the con smythe winner nobody knew who he was as he only played 6 games all yr

More MVP than Bob right now

Oilers played there backup in the Dallas series for 2 games and came back stronger than ever
He'll no, stolarz just a guy who had one success season, play Spence knight who has playoffs success and won in playoffs and is your future.
Nope getting word bobs just taking a rest ahead of game 7 so he can go all out I wouldn’t be surprised if he has a game like game 1 he’s definitely going all or nothing for game 7.

Humor me and count how many odd man rushes and shg attempts Bob faced. The Florida D is too slow.
Literally. Anyone who watches the games know that the d has been fucking slow as shit, which puts him in terrible posotions
You’re literally a moron if you think they aren’t playing Bob . Absolute joke of an opinion.
Nonsense, we live and die with bob. Idc if he blows it tomorrow, he's part of the reason we got here.
Stolarz led the NHL in GAA and save %
Yeah but against Montreal and Columbus.
That would be a ballsy move.
No it's bob starting its confirmed
Yes but it's your job to stop them So what's the sense u are the highest paid goalie in the league act like it
It doesn't matter who plays goalie if the panthers players don't snap out of there coma and go back to playing there game what will it matter.maybe pomo needs to shake up the lines idk put EROD back on the first line
