The admin team will continue to work on existing issues, templates and upgrade all necessary available addons to minimize impact of this new version. Click Here for Updates
I mean I thought we knew Anton had a long term injury. Even if ullmark is out for 1 more game or 15 we were still going to need to call up mads. Guess we’ll see how Leevi is progressing in his development.

If they’re coming back after Minnesota then not necessarily a big deal as it’s two games. If the road trip extends into Dallas and beyond, not great.

The thing with back issues like that is that if it lasts more than a week, it's more than just "tightness". This could be a chronic thing which prevents him from being a starter for the short and long term. Really concerning.

Anyone know if he has a history of back issues? All I can find is an article that says he "played through a painful and debilitating injury" in the series that BOS lost to FLA. Those sound like words that are used to describe back pain to me.

Wouldn't surprise me if his health issues which kept him out to start the season were back related. Not like Green is transparent about this stuff and it feels like the team downplays injuries a lot in general.

Welp.

The reality is that while Linus has been good, I am not in the group of fans that think he is stealing games. He has made stops that are stoppable. I think the overall team defence has allowed low chances, not many Grade A's and odd man rushes. Very Boston-like. So it will flatter any goalie.

Doesn't mean it isnt a huge loss , and a concerning trend for this season, but Leevi can make that low grad A chance look routine, as he did against Vancouver. Time to circle the wagons

Fwiw the team said lower body for that one. They aren’t very transparent though so it could be smoke and mirrors.
 
Well if we take a nosedive in the standings due to the injuries. Posters are going to have a field day on the main boards with the Is Ottawa Actually Good topic. Buckle up.

All joking aside, time to see what our Belleville goalie tandem is made of.

What he has done is hold down the fort for when momentum swings the other way and the team caves at the worst possible times.

Those shutouts and 1-goal games weren’t necessarily exhibitions in shutdown hockey.

For that you have to look at New Jersey and their 8 of 9 games where they held the opposition to less than 20 shots.

You take Hellebucyk, or another goalie out of a lineup for an extended period, it is normal that a won loss record will suffer...just seems we are unlucky as usual with either top 6 guys getting hurt, top pair D getting hurt, or our franchise goalie. Yippee

Talk about downplaying Ullmark's contribution to the team lol.

He might not be outright stealing all the games, but we're not in a playoff spot without his very steady presence in net the last month. Don't see how we remain above 500 with Forsberg,Leevi and Soogard back there.

Have some faith guys, holy cow this fanbase is weakkneed. We will be alright. Chill out and believe the team can win without Ullmark.

Ottawa so desperate for a saviour and a hero they can’t see beyond their Iove affair with Ullmark. They started the season without him and were fine.
