Hockey agent Gennady Ushakov, representing the interests of Evgenia Malkina said the Russian goalkeeper from Florida Sergei Bobrovsky – the main contender for the Conn Smythe Trophy, awarded to the best player in the NHL playoffs.
SATURDAY “Florida” defeated Edmonton 3-0 in the first Stanley Cup Final. Bobrovsky stopped 32 shots and became the first star of the game.
— Bobrovsky is playing with particular confidence in the playoffs this year. I really expected him to keep a clean sheet, even though Edmonton has one of the best attacks in the league. Sergei inspires confidence in the team with such matches, which is why they won.
Sergei is capable of ensuring that Florida wins the Stanley Cup, but he is not fighting alone: there are at least four players on offense and a few people on defense worthy of the trophy. But Bobrovsky can win the Conn Smythe Trophy. Goalkeepers do this quite often, but we still have to wait and see how the best strikers prove themselves. The same Alexander Barkov, Matthew Tkachuk, but Bobrovsky is the most likely candidate for this role,” Ushakov told Metaratings.ru.
The second game of the final series of the NHL playoffs will take place on June 10 on Panthers ice.
