During the early years of his career from 1991-2000, Rod Brind'Amour was a player for the Philadelphia Flyers. Recently, he encountered his nemesis, former Flyers goalie Sergei Bobrovsky, who has been showcasing his exceptional goal-tending skills against Brind'Amour's Carolina Hurricanes team.
Rod Brind'Amour hasn't been able to find much fault with the Hurricanes, which makes the losing all the more frustrating. Bobrovsky's just too good. He said it reminded him of playing against Dominik Hasek (presumably in the 2002 Stanley Cup Final). "It's the exact same feeling."
Brind'Amour expressed how much Bobrovsky reminds him of Dominik Hasek, whom he played against in 2002.
This is a significant compliment for Bobrovsky, despite Brind'Amour's difficulty in figuring out the goalie.
Brind'Amour finds himself at a standstill with his former team and a goalie that they had helped bring into the league.
