Former defenseman for several KHL clubs Nikita Shchitov told that if the Florida Panthers won the Stanley Cup, the team’s goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky will be able to claim an award for the best player in the playoffs.
Florida won Game 3 of the Stanley Cup Final against Edmonton (4-3) and took a 3-0 lead in the series. Bobrovsky stopped 32 of 35 shots. In total, he only allowed four goals and 82 saves in this series.
— Bobrovsky is playing wonderfully in these playoffs. If Florida wins the Stanley Cup, he will be in the running for playoff MVP. But the Panthers need to take another step, anything can happen in hockey.
Yes, they played with a lot of confidence: they led 4:1. “Florida” catches “Edmonton” making mistakes, the Oilers goalie can’t do it. In general, the Panthers display a balanced game: they look good on offense and defense. Tarasenko shows himself very well, Barkov looks great.
I think Edmonton can win a home game. They will be extremely motivated. But Bobrovsky, of course, is handsome. I really want him to win the Stanley Cup,” Shchitov told .
