Bob must have worked on stopping breakaways. Last year he was awful. Seems so confident now.

Shootouts and breakaways are VERY different.

Stickhandling is much better, too. He definitely put in the work in the summer.

Maybe on the next PP they won't allow a breakaway.

Flyers could desperately use some energy. Fight? Big hit? Lucky bounce?

That's OK

They are both one against the goalie is the point I'm trying to make. And quit capital lettering people. It's pompous.

In the shootout a shooter has a lot more time to think about what he wants to do, and can be much more patient than in a breakaway.


Also Bob seems to be A LOT more aggresive/cut down the angle in a breakaway than in the shootout.

definitely, but i think the thought process from both the shooter's and goalie's point of view is different.

The amount of odd man rushes allowed is embarrassing.

Win or lose, Bob is really making a strong case tonight, regardless of where the Islanders are in the standings.
