Great for regular season success. However come playoff time it is much more valuable to have that cap allocated to everyday player.

there was a play below the goal line in our defensive end where poitras lifted bedards stick and sealed him off into the boards that impressed me more than the goal

Man all this emphasis on "yeah they're 6-0 but look at who they're playing" by media. Negative Nancys.
You still have to win those "gimme" games against lesser teams!!!
Also, 7 goals allowed in 6 games is also proof that this team is a defensive horse.

Avs and Vegas are both undefeated, but they also haven't had a very hard schedule either. That's what good teams do though, they don't lose the easier ones.

Blow it up
To be honest I'm seeing a lot more mistakes from seasoned veterans than I am from Poitras. Hockey is pretty much a game of mistakes.
Yeah I’m with this. These two mesh so well together, I would be trying to work out matching extensions at a reasonable cap hit for the two of them if possible.

Unless they actually rotate them in playoffs. I would play each goalie until they lose then switch it up...keeps them fresh and creates another reason to want to step your game up, although they shouldn't need one at that time.
The other luxury is how many teams can face an injury to their starter and then have a guy like Swayman come in instead of a career backup or AHLer?
Having cap space tied up to two goalies seems dumb until you watch Bussi lose a series due to inexperience.
A win that wasn't pretty is still a win.
Nice win. Got up because of cold and watched the 3rd. Potsy is good. I mean real good. He reminds me of norman lavelle (sp). Lots of speed great hockey sense and good hands.
How lucky we are to have these two net minders.

After the way the season ended after that incredible regular season,I wasn’t sure if I could really get into this season ,having Lucic come back definitely was an incentive,but the play of the kid has definitely sparked my attention again.
Lucky to have them for sure let’s just hope the coach has learned a lesson in how to handle them if injuries become an issue again .

all the way until the last minute when they finally got it right
What do you consider high end #1C? Top 10 in NHL? How long until he reaches that?
There are lots of #1C that he isn't likely going to slot ahead of over the next 3 years.
McDavid, McKinnon, Hughes, Point, Matthews, Bedard, Aho, Barkov, Stutzle, Larkin, & Eichel for starters. Then you have players such as Fantilli, Carlson (Anaheim) about his age.
Then you have a few other center icemen like Suzuki, Thompson, Couzens, and Hertl you have to think will be as good or better.
Long way to go to start talking like this about him.

What’s the difference between bussi losing a series due to inexperience versus Ullmark losing two consecutive playoff series with a save percentage in the .800’s both times?
Great win on the last game of a long trip, especially early in the season.
The next game will be tougher as 1st game home always is. Then the 1st real test against an up and coming Wings team. Wings roster screams legit. Larkin and Dirty Dave Perron(very Marchand like) are great leaders.

Really? I guess if you think making a good defensive zone play rates higher than what will be one of the top 10 goals a Bruin will score, you must really value defensive acumen a lot.
That goal was awesome and not just his puck pursuit in his own zone to CI. His finish
was as loud as you'll ever hear in hockey. As close to a slam dunk goal on a breakaway
you will see from anyone on Boston other than #88 this year.
A loss is a loss, however you'd have to be smoking something strong to think Bussi gives you close to the same chance as Ullmark. I'm also willing to give the guy a break with his groin injury last year, which if anything shows the importance of a good tandem, but it's not his fault the coach didn't go with Swayman when he visibly looked off.
I cant imagine this place if we lost in the playoffs with Bussi in net after trading one of Sway/Ullmark.
Come offseason I'm all for getting rid of one of the two though.
Boston dominated the 2\3 periods. Was easily their best game of the year. Don't know xGF vs xGA but I'll guess 5-1.

Potsy, Ralph Malph, and Zacha with the goals! BTW love hearing Marchand calling Poitras Potsy. Too funny.
