Regardless if you booed or cheered tonight, he's one of the greatest players in franchise history.
Sergei Bobrovsky returned to Nationwide Arena for the first time as a member of the Florida Panthers since his last playoff loss with the Columbus Blue Jackets in April, and we figured a tribute video was in order:
Welcome back, Bob. Thanks for the memories.#CBJ pic.twitter.com/Y8iYAxSqFd

Bobrovsky, even with his disheartening free agency departure, was one of if not the most valuable Blue Jacket in team history during his seven seasons with the club. He has the franchise lead for goaltenders in Columbus in wins, shutouts, saves, save percentage and goals-against average.
And they likely won't be touched for a while.
