Player Discussion Linus Ullmark (G)

[OD99]

I'm going to be mindful to not get anxious if Ullmark has a similar stretch of games like he did at the start of the season. Sure it'll suck, but the dude is better than those games and even if he's not lights out like he is right now, he'll still have games where we lose (for whatever reason) but he'll still do his part to keep us in

I mean, look at our record when we get a .900 average in net. They shouldn't need him to be .930+ and they should win some for him when he is sub .900

It's amazing what a good backstopper means and we have watched so many teams enjoy success due to their goalie and then build a stronger team around that. I expect the FA market may soften for the Senators a bit if the trend of playoffs continues. Maybe more D will want to play in front of Linus.

I said after we got him that I thought he was the key to the season, and will end up the best goalie in Sens history. He shook my confidence a little with that start, but I stand behind that.

Will go down as one of the greatest trades ever for the franchise.

Ya wonder how much missing time twice (exhibition and early on) with the “strain” , affected his play.

Sigh, just imagine if the Sens had elite goaltending in the prime Alfie years.

Remember this one about Linus @sena

sure I hope he keeps it up. Its a concern if he can keep it up once the wheels fall of for a game or two.
He had complaints that Buffalo "didn't support him" The problem was they wanted him to play when he just wasn't like feeling it mannn
He is playing better than any player the sens have ever had, except perhaps the Hamburgler run. He is playing better than that but what a long crazy run that was

All we needed was Hasek to stay healthy

At the time, I started to worry. In hindsight, I think it's easy to point to that, and adjusting to a new team/situation. He also talked about some mechanical changes him and Peters had worked on after reviewing video. I think he saw at least some of what was going wrong and corrected it.

I just love the guy. Such a mature and humble, yet very confident attitude. His interviews always have a fun answer.
