Hmmm. Just finished the game. Hard to be too upset when the team is playing this way. Jimmy and bath looking great together. Another 10+ minute stretch of no SOG allowed, which for the first time this season felt like the sword of damoclese was overhead.

Ullmark laid an egg. 3rd and OT goals are ones to feel embarrassed by.


That said - if this team keeps playing this way, the wins will keep coming and we'll be playoff bound. 3 back to back to back dominant games in terms of overall play, limiting chances for big stretches, and individual efforts from key players.

Im not going to bed upset - we got a point!

Heartwrenching loss.

At least two goals were 100% on Ullmark.

Really hope he finds his consistency because the team in front of him is looking as good as ever.

Didn't watch game missed this one just saw the highlights. Euhh It's me or Ulmark was bad on every goal those 5 goals are all normal save ezpect the rebound one and it shouldnt be a rebound. Really sucks cause team wqs pkaying against good goaltending and still potted 4. Can't allow 5 goal on 5 shots and for once it was not the defensive play to blame.

Looks like the old Norris is back to form ?

Glad we got a point but that was an easy 2 not because of Philly more because we played well and Ulmark shit on the bed.

They had a great second period.

Ullmark needs to figure it out, or the team needs to figure out how to manage him. He's been a tandem guy most of his career, so maybe they need to lean more on Forsberg. As much as you don't want to hear that about an 8M goalie, such is life. 8M is the new 6M. I'm confident he will figure it out. He has been too good the last few years to be this bad.

Tkachuk's board battles are becoming legendary. Block off the defender and physically dominate him - or them - until he has the puck back and under control.

It's very, very impressive

There was a shot of him hanging out by the boards and all the ladies were going nuts. He has a certain type of handsomeness. Not a traditional handsomeness. He is like Arizona handsome.

Some are probably still reeling over the game. Here is an image to help take your mind off of the loss for a bit...

What a game by Norris by the way. He was back to his peak level tonight, hopefully he can keep going, it makes us a much better team. Same with Chabot, back to be Elite.

This has Vegas written all over it. Team is in panic mode.

Ottawa has looked like an elite team lately. Ullmark lost the game by himself and he knows it

I don't find they panicked at all, they dominated the whole game and barely gave any scoring chances. Ullmark should have had at least 3 of these goals

1st goal against wasn't great too. And even the 4th one, not well positioned, gave up a really bad rebound in the slot. Frankly, it was a really bad performance and he knows it.

That being said, the team is playing almost flawless hockey, they were dominant, controlled the whole game. At least they got a point tonight, unlike Vegas and Colorado games where they deserved at least a point...

But in the end, it really hurts, they are a much better team than 8-7-1

He's still a better goalie than Forsberg. I still go with him in the next game.

Hard to say. Outside of a few goalies, the recent success has more weight than how they played years ago. Especially behind an elite defensive team like Bruins. Our defensive game was outstanding, and to lose a game like that has a huge impact on the team. How does the team look at how they dominated a flacid opponent, and not change knowing the goalie can’t stop a beach ball. This should have been a 5-1 win. Time for ullmark to earn the net, and watch from the bench and watch forsy get his chance. Complete opposite of what I expected from ullmark. I was a huge believe he would be a difference maker, just in the opposite direction.

That third goal was a cross ice pass. It slipped five hole while he was crossing the crease. The OT goal was a stinker, but the others were just goals.

I am sure Ullmark is pissed off at his performance. I am not saying it was great. What I'm saying is that we can't keep dumping on our goalies when they have bad nights.

1st goal : not a "weak" goal but his positioning and his reaction speed too far from being optimal : not a very good goal to give

2nd goal : breakaway by a good player, can't blame him

3rd goal : one-timer but from a distance and not an unstoppable shot. Had well enough time to get across but it gets through him. He just didn't "feel it"

4th goal : bad positioning again, not defying shots, leads up to a bad rebound in the slot. Not a "bad goal" but he barely had to make any tough saves in the whole game. It was time to make one.

5th goal : just awful but it shouldn't have gone to OT in the first place. If he had a good game, it would have been a 4-1 win, a normal game a 4-2 win, a so-so game a 4-3 win.
