Player Discussion Linus Ullmark (G)

[PlayOn]

It's very hard to have any confidence in Ullmark in net, every shot on net is a concern until he starts to play consistently like we have seen him in some games & in his Vezina season

Maybe a bit lost in all this is that he’s likely been playing hurt all season. Didn’t someone say he has a herniated disc and will need surgery?

If true, he still played at a pretty high level and got us into the playoffs so I will cut him some slack for the inconsistency.

… oh wait

Respect for battling through and dialing in.

Good for you Linus. Good for you.

There we go.

Best game of his playoffs career and it didn't come a moment too soon.

Welcome to the series, Linus. 14 more wins to go.

Ullmark with a great game - confidence starts from the net out & he was terrific tonight. Real good gutsy game from the Sens on the road in a must win game was great to see, they will do a lot of growing up after this game. I think we can say they have arrived regardless of what happens from this point on.

May this be the first of many for Ullmark

Where’s @Gil Gunderson to blame everything on Ullmark? Is that only when he loses?

I blame him for the win.

 

[NyQuil]

Huge game, very calm and collected, especially on the deflections right in front at the very beginning of the game

 

[Stutzlaaaa]

His body language was ice whole game , had excellent positioning for once. If he entred the zone we might have a chance to win this serie

Glad he had a great game. He has been unlucky and deserved this one

 

[IpsoPostFacto]

Not a brilliant observation or anything, but I knew from the first few minutes of the game that Linus was on.

Except for someone like say, Hasek, I look to see how calm the goalie looks; are they relaxed and letting the game come to them or are they "fighting" the game;

Linus was on and it showed at various points where he was just in the proper position with deflected pucks hitting him the lower pads and going wide etc. Many of those shots would have found there way in earlier in the series.

I said before the series that despite how good Stolarz has been this year and having better numbers this year (and last, in a backup role), I'd still rather have Linus. I still believe that 100%. Glad to have him in our corner and I'm looking for him to have another big one in game 6.

It seems like he has been getting a bit better each game. If is indeed beginning to lock in, it's at the right time.

I still don't think the Senators have had much puck luck and if the hockey gods smile upon us, there are a few dirty goals yet to be had for us. If we can get another lead and play smart, a game 7 may be in the cards.

Tomorrow is going to be bonkers at the CTC.
