Double world champion, winner of the Gagarin Cup in Ufa “Salavat Yulaev” Vitaly Proshkin appreciated the play of the Florida goalkeeper Sergei Bobrovsky in the current NHL playoffs.
“Florida” in the third round of the Stanley Cup won “Carolina” with an overall score of 4-0 in the series. During the series, the Russian goalkeeper set Florida’s record for the number of saves in the playoffs: in the first game, Bobrovsky saved 63 of 65 shots, surpassing the achievement of John Vanbiesbroek (55 saves in the game against the Colorado Avalanche in the 1996 NHL playoffs).
– Bobrovsky reached the Stanley Cup final, it’s a joy. There’s been a lot of criticism for him lately, but playoff games have shown him to be an excellent keeper. Bobrovsky did his job and proved he could lead the team to the final.
They say a goalkeeper is half a team. It’s true. When the goaltender catches the unshot pucks, the team tries to play with equal confidence. It’s good that Russian hockey players are in the Stanley Cup final. This is the promotion of hockey in Russia. Children will see the performance of the Russian player in the final and also try to grow in sports, – Proshkin is quoted as saying by “Championship”.
The Panthers will face the winner of the game between the Vegas Golden Knights and Dallas Stars in the NHL Playoff Finals. Vegas leads 3-0.
