Player Discussion Linus Ullmark (G)

[Sens of Anarchy]

When’s the last time we won three games in a row?

Korpisalo doesn’t give me confidence.

Last year
we won 5 in a row Mar 23- Mar30 Devils, Oilers, Sabres, Hawks, Jets
we won 4 in a row Jan 29-Feb13 Preds, Wings, Leafs, BJs
Also 3 in a row Oct14-18 and Nov 11-18

I think we lost 3+ in a row 7 times. 5+ in a row 3 times

We need Forsberg to be solid to be able to rest Linus
A rested Vezina Linus gets us in the PO easily

True... Hopefully we can not let the pressure get to us this year

I don't know about the rest of you but I'm literally healthier with Ullmark on the team. I've spent years holding my breath everytime the puck enters our end. With ullmark I can casually watch and breathe. It's so much more enjoyable

It makes me appreciate Craig Anderson even more. We were lucky to have had such steady goaltending for 8 years. And now good goaltending is back! Welcome to your Ullmark years!

100%.

Korpisalo was such a bitter experience on the heels of Murray. I couldn't muster up any optimism about that signing.

.963 last 5 games
.950 last 7 games lol

NHL star of the week?

 

[Carl Karlsson]

NHL star of the week?

He should be, but even if they ignore him most important is to keep the great play amd wins coming ! Go Sens Go

Ditto Mofo

Good on Linus for answering the way he has. It shows self awareness.

He's only had two games in the last ten where his save percentage was below .906, which is fantastic. But he also had a 10 game stretch with 7 games below .900.

I think he's a better goalie than .906, but he knows his recent play doesn't guarantee playoffs. Looking forward to him racking up more wins and hitting 30 wins with us

 

[PlayOn]

This was great. He also made a point to say they can’t get too high off the wins because what happens when you start to win is that other teams notice and play you harder, so you have to be ready to elevate.

It’s nice to have this kind of perspective from a guy that is also one of your best players.

I thought Bruce would have convinced you of that a long time ago

Loser question. Winner answer.

Must score goals too to get into the playoffs!

Without dumb questions you won't get amazing answers.

Well done big dog

So how many games should Ullmark play in the 9 game road trip?

Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton, and Seattle are 6 points apart in the standings right now so there's no real mismatch. Personally I'd have Forseberg play Edmonton (since its the second half of a back to back) and have Ullmark play the rest.

9 is the obvious answer here

Is it though? I think he'd get exhausted if he did that.
