Player Discussion Linus Ullmark (G)

[NyQuil]

He’s really timed his rehab well hasn’t he?

Just in time to play for Sweden.

i think being afraid of injury if he is ready to go is a loser mentality. Ullmark has rarely had the opportunity to play for his country and he is a late bloomer. If he is ready let him play and see if he can gain some confidence and momentum.

I suspect if he was a team canada goalie the thinking here would be slightly different

I didn’t mind that Hasek played for the Czechs in 2006.

He was also healthy going into the tournament.

And it was the Olympics.

Not some all-star game masquerading as a best on best tournament.

I guess I'm the only one who doesn't mind if he plays in the tournament and shakes off the rust.

Nah I don't care either. We have 6 games before the break I'm guessing he'll get into one of those

We still haven’t any word really when he’ll be inserted back into the lineup.

Got to wonder if our backup tenders will play more games than our starter this year?

And that’s just this year. If he has a wonky back, maybe it will be like that more than just this year.

Luckily our team is playing good team defense, and the other two goalies have stepped up, so they can take their time.

It's been discussed in this thread that historically, he has usually played around 40 games a season as a pro.

Yes, although I was thinking of the future in my post. I see that he had one 49 game year, one 41 game year, and another 40 game year. Every other year was less than 40 games. No idea how many of those years he had back problems though. If we're basing this on history, its looking like our backup is going to be playing about half of the games.

What's annoying is that with Markstrom injured, there's probably extra pressure from Ullmark's fellow Swedes to play in the Four Nations tournament.

I’m with you guys, I really don’t give a shit if he plays.

Just curious. How would you guys feel if he were injured there and say missed the rest of the season?

If he can't stay healthy then he can't stay healthy.
