At the time the trade was announced, everyone in hockey except for overly optimistic Bruins fans scored it a lopsided win for the Sens. Performances like this by Ullmark will somehow make it even more lopsided.

In Sens defense, the entire roster were AHL players except for one and Ottawa's prospect pool is pretty thin. Buffalo's rookies were hungrier, Ottawa's rookies were mostly awful. It was a hard game to watch but Ullmark was the highlight. If the changes the GM made in the off-season pan out, Ottawa's defensive play should improve from last year but it'll never be as good as Boston's.It's going to be a busy year in Ottawa for Ullmark, but he's a great goalie and should be able to save them more than a few games.

I don't know. Craig Button says otherwiseAnd all around the net.
Korpisalo faced point blank shots all night every night in Ottawa.
Interesting take. I doubt most people in the league would agree that Ottawa is better defensively than Boston. I don't even think Ottawa fans would make that argument.
The only reason people are saying he’s not that bad is because he’s a Bruin. If he were on Toronto or someone else they would be being mocked by this place for thinking he could be good
As a side note, Sabres might be the team we have to watch out for. They look like they have maybe finally put it together. Hard to believe, but they look ready to be dominant.In Sens defense, the entire roster were AHL players except for one and Ottawa's prospect pool is pretty thin.

Always a year away from being a year away.As a side note, Sabres might be the team we have to watch out for. They look like they have maybe finally put it together. Hard to believe, but they look ready to be dominant.
(of course they are the Sabres, so they could still, just be that)
Interesting, how long will that save percentage hold up facing that kind of rubber. Maybe we should give Korpisalo some breathing room, before we start throwing dirt on him, and we might be better served supporting him if he is going to be the guy. I also suspect Donnie, is doing his work and looking around the league at other options. Just maybe the two goalie tandem continues.In half a game he faced 29 shots?!?
