About three months shy of turning 36, Sergei Bobrovsky of the Florida Panthers could become the third-oldest goaltender in more than 50 years to be the starting netminder for a team that wins the Stanley Cup. Dominik Hasek was 37 years and about 4 months when he led Detroit to the 2002 title.
Florida Panthers goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky acknowledges the crowd after his team defeated the New York Rangers in Game 6 to win the Eastern Conference finals of the NHL hockey Stanley Cup playoffs Saturday, June 1, 2024, in Sunrise, Fla.
About three months shy of turning 36, Bobrovsky could become the third-oldest goalie in more than 50 years to be the starting netminder for a team that wins the Stanley Cup. Dominik Hasek was 37 years and about 4 months when he led Detroit to the 2002 title; Tim Thomas was 37 years and about 2 months when he led Boston to the 2011 title.
“With him, it’s an everyday thing,” Tkachuk said. “His off days, his recovery days, they’re all tailored to what he’s going to do in the net. He’s so good at keeping a very simple focus. And if anybody on our team is the best at being even keeled, it’s him. So, we’re very lucky to have that. That’s a very, very important trait, probably the No. 1 most important trait.”
