'High glove': NHL goalie expert points out Florida star Bobrovsky's one weakness
Article content 'You've got to look at where to go on him,' said Valiquette, analyst for MSG and Clear Sight Analytics CEO, on the Real Kyper and Bourne podcast this week. 'You've got to go high glove on the breakaway, all right? Whether it's a deke or an early shot, that's where you have to go.' The Oilers had success on the breakaway against Bobrovsky in the 2024 Final, especially as the series went along. In the first three rounds of the playoffs, Edmonton had just six breakaways and scored one goal. Against Florida, Edmonton had 10 breakaways and scored six times, this according to the video review of all Grade A shots at the Cult of Hockey. That's an outstanding clearance rate on breakaways against Bobrovsky. Bobrovsky has been strong so far in the 2025 playoffs on breakaways, facing 18 and giving up just three goals, Valiequette said, but he had had the worst safe percentage on breakaways in the regular season. 'And Florida gives up a lot of breakaways. They ranked 27th in breakaways against. You're going to see breakaways against them.'

NHL Stanley Cup 2025: Oilers' win over Stars sets up rematch against Panthers
This year, the Stanley Cup Final will look familiar, as the Edmonton Oilers face off against the Florida Panthers for the second straight year. The 2024 Final rematch will begin Wednesday in what is likely to be another exciting series. Edmonton secured its 2025 Final appearance with a 6-3 win over the Dallas Stars on Thursday, icing a 4-1 series win and the Western Conference championship. The victory set up a rematch against Florida, which picked up its own 4-1 series win over the Carolina Hurricanes on Wednesday. Advertisement As the Oilers chase their first Stanley Cup since 1990, their final obstacle will once again be the Panthers, who defeated Edmonton in a thrilling series in 2024. Florida went up 3-0 in the series before Edmonton went on a run to force a Game 7; the Panthers staved off a historic collapse with a 2-1 victory over the Oilers to earn the franchise's first title. It's been more than 30 years since a Canadian team has won the Stanley Cup — and the Oilers, out for revenge, have extra motivation to break that drought. Edmonton will also open the series as a slight betting favorite over the Panthers. Hockey superstitions may also come into play here. After not touching the Clarence S. Campbell trophy last year and subsequently losing the Finals, Oilers captain Connor McDavid grabbed it right away this year — opening the hope that Edmonton's luck might change. Both teams have been on strong postseason runs heading into the rematch. Florida kicked off the playoffs with a 4-1 series win over the Tampa Bay Lightning, before dashing the Toronto Maple Leafs' postseason dreams with a 6-1 Game 7 victory. Advertisement As for Edmonton, the Oilers pulled through the first two rounds with a 4-2 win over the Los Angeles Kings with a 4-2 win and a 4-1 win over the Las Vegas Knights before dispatching the Stars. The Stanley Cup Final begin Wednesday, with Edmonton hosting the first two games.
