Discussion Jakub Dobes was said to have had a good practice today

Post image

The person recording described that he kept things simple in front of the net and stayed inside of his zone. Do you think the Dobes rebound is coming?

My stream was buffering so I missed the practice footage, this image got me feeling like I'm staring at a loading screen

Dobes staying simple and inside his zone is exactly what we need though, last few games he was chasing pucks too much and leaving the net wide open

If he can keep this energy I think the rebound happens faster than people expect, maybe even in the next week or two

Soon Dobes will be criticized for having coloured pads. Whenever Price struggled it was always because he wore his red pads

u/Sav1909 1d ago

Carey the Red vs Carey the White was legit

u/kirschballs 1d ago

Not a criticism but I did have concerns about his save percentage in those pads lol. They look slick though

u/bloodrider1914 1d ago

Why does aura have to be mutually exclusive with save percentage?

As a Habs fan I can confidently say that Habs fans are fucking ridiculous.

u/PeaceSparkle1 1d ago

I'm not ridiculous, I'm bi-polar.

u/GoCalgaryGo 1d ago

yes you are, I am, we are, idiots we are , lets go...

go habs go

u/synchrosyn 1d ago

There is probably a slight advantage for  the shooter when you can see contrast between the pads and the ice. It let's you see clearly where there is an opening.

I don't think that was the problem though.

u/lynypixie 1d ago

I have read this a couple of times already. That white pads generally get better results.

6

u/Last-Bus-4710 1d ago

He already is.

u/Cassopeia88 1d ago

I remember that.

u/ObverseNebula 23h ago

Those red pads absolutely affected his save %

I had a good poop this morning and not one person made a post about it.

6

u/jockey1381 23h ago

Damn. I thought I had to poop earlier today but it ended up just being a fart.. very heartbreaking day for me..

2

u/TheBreenius 21h ago

Would be way worse if it was the other way around!

u/calgmtl07 1d ago

Congrats Whiskey atta b!

u/nonebutmyself 1d ago

Nothing like a good poop in the morning.

2

u/AleroRatking 1d ago

I mean. You just did.

u/Whiskeylung 1d ago

Touché. I’m not afraid to hide my light in a bushel.

u/Ali_knows 1d ago

Someone on Reddit told me thst heard someone say he was good in a practice today.

6

u/Bohmer 1d ago

It's the pads. Dobes had a terrible season's start his 1st year in Laval. Changed his pads and was lights out. Finished the season in the show, never looked back.

8

u/whaletacochamp 1d ago

I…uh….ok? This is like what my wife and I tell each other about our very emotional 4yo after pre school. “Oh he had a good day!”

I’m not a dobes hater by any means but I don’t know what this means.

u/Annika2020pro 1d ago

Like Dobes, I’m confident your 4 year old will be fine.

3

u/Spicy-Potat42 22h ago

This reads like you’re saying you and Dobes discussed whale’s 4 year old and you’re both confident they’ll be okay. Made me chuckle.

2

u/whaletacochamp 1d ago

Same. I don’t know why we are nitpicking his practices now

5

u/Dachshundlovercassou 16h ago

Leave my man alone

7

u/vlhube71 1d ago

He had a great rookie year and awesome playoffs. He’s having a rough start yes, but I’m confident he’ll find his game.

u/Annika2020pro 1d ago

Saving this in my “sensible takes on r/Habs” folder (it’s pretty bare)

u/OkanaganZ 1d ago

I don’t love that this is where we’re at rn

2

u/destroyermaker 1d ago

I want to see him play far out in front of the net again. That's when you know he's feeling himself.

I'm sure he'll bounce back soon.

2

u/Weird-Swim-9777 1d ago

What useful and compelling post.

2

u/Booyacaja 1d ago

If Dobes can stay in position instead of getting walked out of his crease like a dog following a steak, he'll be just fine.

2

u/CrazedCrusader95 1d ago

Honestly Dobes is better under pressure

2

u/VonZac 23h ago

It was never the issue, Dobes is great, just not consistent. Glad if he had a good one.

2

u/_heybuddy_ 13h ago

He def needs a reset mentally

3

u/Minute_Engineer2355 1d ago

I'm really rooting for this guy, he seems like a genuine dude.

2

u/Strict_House3347 1d ago

He needs a good game not practice

2

u/Old_Canuck 21h ago

Where is his leash ??

He needs to stop wandering and losing his net.

3

u/ihave86arms 6h ago

this is like, not at all why he's struggling. he's struggling because when he is in the net, he's not squared up. he has good lateral control and is actually very anticipatory. positioning isn't his problem either, it's his instinct toward aggressiveness and overreaching. he's gonna be fine though, i'm tired of how we're all doomers all the time

1

u/Old_Canuck 6h ago

Yup...he losses his net.

The leash drill will help him with that....it tethers him to his posts so he always knows where they are so he can square better.

He just needs to get his game back....it happens..

Arpon Basu said that he didn’t have a good practice so… 🤷🏻‍♂️ whatever

u/Flaky-Solution7394 12h ago

This sub reddit needs to chill out. Are we talking about practice now?

1

u/EasyPanicButton 2h ago

Like 3 goals went in exactly same way last game. None of them would have been saved by any goaltender.
