Russian goalie for the Florida Panthers Sergei Bobrovsky is not only a great athlete, but also a man with a capital M, and it is not for nothing that he is compared to legendary football and hockey goalkeepers. Lev Yashin And Vladislav Tretiak said the commentator and presenter of the television channel to Dmitry Guberniev .
Earlier in an interview with , Bobrovsky expressed his gratitude to Guberniev for the support provided.
— Serezha is not only a great athlete. He is also a man with a capital letter. It was always very interesting to communicate with him, because he has a really inquisitive mind. There are people in sports who, like big egoists, achieve something, but the coach, family and country remain a little aside. Sergei absorbed all the best qualities of a real Soviet and Russian athlete. A very smart and responsible guy. I think this is a very important symbiosis. He is a personality. Not only because he thanked me, but because I really want to sympathize with these guys in sports and follow what is happening with them.
I tell you, Bobrovsky is a bit like the “goalkeeper of the Republic” according to Kassil. This is not just a person who came out and saved a penalty, this is a whole phenomenon. It is not for nothing that Bobrovsky is now rightly compared to Lev Yashin and Vladislav Tretyak. I will not touch the holy names in vain. Nevertheless, in terms of business, in terms of life philosophy, in terms of human development, in terms of intellect, I appreciate him very much. He is really one of my favorite hockey players. Favorite goalkeeper – of course.
And it’s very cool that he finally won the Stanley Cup and went out with the Russian flag at the championship parade. It’s cool how he takes care of his native Novokuznetsk, thanked the fans for their support… All this is very important. “All these steps are stages of a long journey for an athlete who has not yet crossed this path, but continues to do so,” Guberniev told .
Bobrovsky played 24 games in the last NHL playoffs, winning 16 games with a 2.32 save percentage and 90.6% save percentage. He won the Stanley Cup for the first time in his career. In the last playoff series, Florida beat the Edmonton Oilers in seven games.
